Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy 2007-2012
The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council has just released
its five-year 2007-2012 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
(CEDS) Plan. The 2007 CEDS serves as a framework of ideas and a
broad-based program of action to promote the long-term economic
sustainability of the Treasure Coast Region. It presents a comprehensive
overview of the Region’s economy illustrating significant
trends in employment, wages, income, and industry. The plan examines
the Region’s existing and emerging cluster industries, its
economic assets and the internal and external forces affecting its
economy.
The 2007-2012 CEDS contains a number of strategic projects, programs,
and activities designed to implement the goals of the CEDS plan
and the vision for the region. A CEDS is required to qualify for
U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) investment assistance
under its Public Works or Economic Adjustment Programs.
