Developing a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for West Central Vermont

A CEDS - or a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy - is a strategy-driven plan for regional economic development. A CEDS is the result of a regionally-led planning process designed to build capacity, support local initiatives, and develop economic resiliency.

Our CEDS will strengthen local economic partnerships within West Central Vermont (Addison County, Chittenden County, Rutland County, Washington County and part of Orange County) and enable our region to meet current and anticipated economic challenges.
