Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (2026-2031)
The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is the SEAGO Region's primary economic development planning document for the 2026–2031 period. It provides a strategic framework for identifying regional challenges and opportunities, prioritizing projects, and directing investments that support economic growth and resiliency.
The CEDS is designed to:
• Promote sustainable economic development;
• Support job creation and private investment;
• Improve regional competitiveness;
• Enhance infrastructure, transportation, and community assets;
• Strengthen economic resilience with natural, economic, and market disruptions; and
• Align regional priorities with EDA investment objectives.
The strategy also serves as a tool for coordination among local governments, private industry, educational institutions, tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, and state and federal partners.
The CEDS provides a shared roadmap for regional economic development by linking stakeholder priorities, investment opportunities, and long-term resilience strategies.
