CEDS Committee probes area’s strengths and weaknesses
September 13, 2010
Virginia's Region 2000 Local Government Council hosted the second meeting of the
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) committee on Wednesday,
September 8 at the Lynchburg IT Center.
This meeting focused on creating
a S.W.O.T. (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis for the
region. A data analysis of the region was presented, and participants were given
an opportunity to voice their opinions on which areas of S.W.O.T. were the most
essential to the region.
The CEDS team will inventory economic
development activities and plan future projects to benefit the region. A
completed CEDS document will go to the Federal Economic Development
Administration and Virginia's Governor, and will be pivotal in obtaining federal
infrastructure and development grants in the future. The document will also
serve as the region's roadmap for economic development projects.
