This tutorial provides an introduction to the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), discusses key elements of the CEDS, and covers information about engagement, implementation, and other resources to support your organization during the CEDS process. This presentation is designed primarily for staff who are new to the CEDS, perhaps working on one for the first time. However, it should also be useful to CEDS veterans who are looking for a quick refresher. The tutorial covers:
- CEDS requirements
- Creating a successful CEDS
- Stakeholder engagement
- Performance metrics
- Resources for CEDS planning
