CEDS committee adopts projects for regional strategy
February 24, 2011
Virginia's
Region 2000 Local Government Council is leading a process to complete a
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the region. A regional
team has approved a set of goals and objectives for the strategy and recently
met to review more than 70 regional projects that have been submitted for
inclusion in the CEDS document. The final document will go to the federal
Economic Development Administration (EDA) and to Gov. McDonnell, as required
for obtaining federal infrastructure and development grants for Region 2000
localities in the future.
You may review the CEDS goals and objectives, and submitted projects here.
The
next meeting is scheduled for May 11, Noon - 2 p.m. at the Lynchburg IT Center
where the team will define measurements for meeting the regional goals and
objectives.
