This Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy hereafter referred to as “CEDS” is the cumulative efforts by the communities of the Appalachian Region of South Carolina to define and improve upon regional economic conditions. The Economic Development Administration (EDA), a division of the US Department of Commerce states: “A CEDS should promote economic development and opportunity, foster effective transportation access, enhance and protect the environmental, and balance resources through sound management of development. For the purpose of these guidelines, the term “region”: refers to areas that have been defined economically, environmentally, or geographically as appropriate units for addressing economic development and related challenges.” The CEDS document should be short and easily accessible. The general public, government decision makers, and business investors should be able to use it as a guide to understanding the regional economic and to taking action to improve it. The CEDS should take into account, and where appropriate, incorporate, other planning efforts in the community. Its quality should be judged by its usefulness as a guide to local decision making. There should be a continuing program of communications and outreach to encourage broad-based public engagement and commitment of partners.” The CEDS document is mandated by the EDA
