2023-2028 CEDS Engagement
Northeast Oregon’s 2023-2028 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is a strategy-driven plan for regional economic development that includes the input of community members and stakeholders. Your involvement will help us achieve goals for the region that will support our region’s economic prosperity and resiliency. To get involved, see below and visit our Regional Planning page:
Engage in the CEDS working group as a business owner, interested resident, or public and nonprofit representative to help ensure that a diversity of perspectives, experiences, and strategies are part of implementing projects included in the CEDS. Engaging a working group is a new step in the CEDS process. We expect the group will meet one-two times a year to review progress on the strategy and potentially make updates to the plan.
Ask that your priority public or nonprofit projects are included in the CEDS. Including your project in the CEDS can demonstrate to funders and partners that your project(s) contribute to achieving the region’s economic and community development goals and help you access funding resources.
Your donations allow us to continue to provide free services to small business owners, entrepreneurs and nonprofits in our region. NEOEDD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. NEOEDD will provide donors with an acknowledgement of their contribution.
