Dear community partners,
The Eastern Sierra Council of Governments has been a part of a partnership to create a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for the Eastern Sierra region (Alpine, Inyo, and Mono Counties) with a data- and stakeholder-informed process to identify priorities and opportunities to bring economic growth the region.
The final portion of the stakeholder engagement process is a survey, and I am asking for your help with distribution of the survey to help us get as many responses as possible over the next two weeks. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and closes on Wednesday, May 24.
The survey is now live and available online in both English and Spanish: https://www.surveylegend.com/s/4xz2 [1]
Please take the survey yourself and share with your professional and personal contacts, encouraging them to participate. Feel free to forward this email, share the link on social media, reshare our social media posts, etc.
More about Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS)
A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is a formal document that meets the guidelines put forth by the Economic Development Administration (EDA). The EDA defines a CEDS as “a strategy-driven plan for regional economic development. A CEDS is the result of a regionally-owned planning process designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of an area or region.” When a region has a CEDS, it is eligible for funding opportunities made available through the EDA’s Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance programs to advance recommendations and priorities identified in the CEDS.
