7 What is a CEDS? CEDS is short for Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy - a extensive process managed by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) A CEDS is designed to bring together the public and private sectors in the creation of an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen regional economies A CEDS must be the result of a continuing economic development planning process developed with broad-based and diverse public and private sector participation, and must set forth the goals and objectives necessary to solve the economic issues of the region and clearly define the metrics of success Regional EDA Office: Philadelphia, PA CT Agency: DECD
8 CEDS Overview CEDS guidelines prescribed by EDA Planning document required by EDA to be eligible for federal funding through their grant programs Develops a strategy for furthering economic development in region Completed CEDS also required for designation as an Economic Development District, where our region would qualify as an EDD CEDS is the basis for applying for federal grants in support of economic development; projects come out the CEDS document Analyzes regional conditions Identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) Defines the vision, goals and objectives of the region Designs strategies to accomplish goals and identifies needed projects Provides a process for regional dialogue and CEDS evolution
9 CEDS Standards of Excellence: NADO - National Association of Development Organizations 1. Build more resilient economies and communities by focusing and targeting regional strategies on the existing and potential competitive advantages of each individual region. 2. Foster a regional collaborative framework to strategically align public sector investments from federal, state and local sources, as well as private, nonprofit and philanthropic partners. 3. Use modern scenario, data and analysis tools and planning techniques that provide policy makers, stakeholders and the public with evidence-based and factual based information. 4. Transform the CEDS process into a more strategy-driven planning process focused on regional visioning, priorities setting and performance outcomes, rather than broad-based encyclopedia or narrative of the region with a laundry list of random projects and programs. 5. Promote and support peer reviews and exchanges of Economic Development District planning professionals and policy officials with the goal of increasing collaboration across EDD boundaries, enhancing organizational resources, and positioning regional CEDS as more effective building blocks for statewide and local strategies. 6. Communicate in a compelling and modern communication style, including use of executive summaries, high quality print and online media, and social media. 7. Engage the public, private, nonprofit and educational sectors, along with the general public, in the development and implementation of the CEDS.

11 What is Economic Development? The main goal of economic development is improving the economic well being of a community through job creation, job retention, tax base enhancements and quality of life. Economic development can be described in terms of objectives: the creation of jobs, wealth, improvement of quality of life. A process that influences growth and restructuring of an economy to enhance the economic well being of a community. In the broadest sense, economic development encompasses three major areas: Policies that government undertakes to meet broad economic objectives including inflation control, high employment and sustainable growth. Policies and programs to provide services including building highways, managing parks and providing medical access to the disadvantaged. Policies and programs explicitly directed at improving the business climate through specific efforts, business finance, marketing, neighborhood development, business retention and expansion, technology transfer, real estate development and others. From the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) web site:
12 What are the primary elements of a CEDS? Regional Evaluation Projects Regional Goals Economic Growth Analysis of the Region SWOT of Region Objectives
13 Regional Information/Data Demographic and socioeconomic data Geographic, climatic, environmental, and natural resources profile Infrastructure of area Overview of major sectors of economy Relationship of economy to larger region Factors that directly/indirectly affect economic performance State of the regional economy External trends and forces
14 Currently 4 Towns Brooklyn, Killingly, Plainfield and Stering are EDD s (Economic Development Districts) towns with unemployment over 1% above the national average. Because of this the region eligible for programs and grants. As well as prepare strategies to develop them, and apply for state and federal economic development funds. It specifies criteria for drawing district boundaries and procedures for preparing, reviewing, and approving strategies.
15 Public Act requires each CEDS, in addition to EDA requirements, to: Promote economic development and opportunity Promote housing availability Foster effective transportation access Improve workforce development Enhance and protect the environment Balance resources by soundly managing development Encourage responsible growth and development Eligible districts must have the strategy approved by the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) commissioner and Office of Policy and Management (OPM) secretary. After the strategy is approved, the district may submit it to the U. S. Department of Commerce for approval and apply for and receive federal funds.
16 Economic Development District Each district must include an area that meets economic distress criteria established in federal regulation (13 CFR (a)(1)). Contains at least one economically distressed area that meets specified unemployment and income thresholds Encompasses a sufficiently large area and has enough people and resources to foster economic development of more than one economically distressed area Has a EDA approved CEDS that was also approved by a majority of the counties in the proposed district Obtains the current approval of the state (governor) or states in which it is located Also included are the towns of Windham, Columbia, Mansfield, Sprague, Coventry and Lebanon Until PA , Connecticut was the ONLY State not allowing EDDs
