Compreensive Economic Development Strategy for the Columbia-Pacific Region

 

As an economic development district, Columbia-Pacific RC&EDD is required to prepare a comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) at least once every three years, with updates annually. We choose to revise the full CEDS every year. This makes it more useful as both a planning tool and marketing tool. Each year we increase the value of the CEDS by adding new features (and removing out-dated ones), and the participation of the communities, economic development councils, port districts, counties, public utility districts and public development authorities in our district . The CEDS allows us to see the challenges and opportunities in our district.

As the lead organization for the development of the CEDS, Columbia-Pacific RC&EDD is in a unique position to serve as a facilitator and coordinator of economic development, community development and workforce development efforts.
