Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for Arkansas

About the CEDS project for the State of Arkansas

The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is a planning process and document developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) Economic Development Districts (EDDs) that afford local governments within each EDD, eligibility for EDA capital improvement funds. In recent years, EDA has encouraged state associations of EDDs to develop a statewide CEDS.
