Draft Sullivan County CEDS Available For Public Review
and Input
The Sullivan County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)
is an outgrowth of UVLSRPC’s relationship with the Western
Region
Development Corporation, and a commitment to planning in Sullivan
County. Over the past two years the CEDS Committee, with the staffing
support of UVLSRPC has been working at developing a CEDS process to
guide economic development activities within Sullivan County.
The development of a CEDS is an important economic planning element that will have far-reaching benefits to the region’s civic and business community. Many issues critical to the region’s development require regional solutions. A CEDS provides a means to reach consensus on these issues and enable additional funding possibilities to see projects through to completion. For your review is the updated Draft Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy submitted to the Economic Development Administration for approval.
