  • 2022 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (Ceds)
    2017 – 2022 COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS) For Economic Prosperity in a Thriving Middle Georgia DRAFT – FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ONLY Prepared for: U.S. Economic Development Administration Middle Georgia Economic Development District 1 Executive Summary When charting the course for the Middle Georgia Economic Development District for the next five, ten, and twenty years, regional leaders focused on one adjective: THRIVING. In times where it seems overly difficult for a community to simply survive, the goal must be to aim higher. Middle Georgia seeks to be a diverse region of opportunity, where people want to live, learn, work, and play. This guiding vision drives the Middle Georgia Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) toward the end goal of increasing economic prosperity for all within the region. Certainly, there are challenges in the Middle Georgia region. Economically, the region lags behind most other regions in terms of the well-being of its residents; many individuals find themselves out of work and without the necessary skills to obtain employment. Middle Georgia also tends to fall behind others in innovation. The leading edge of industry is too often found elsewhere, with Middle Georgia struggling to catch up. However, many of the resources necessary to undertake a regional transformation are already in place. A number of industries are poised to see significant growth in Middle Georgia, and a renewed focus on fostering entrepreneurship in the region has the potential to drive new growth and development. The greatest need over the next five years is to support projects which increase the region’s capacity for continued growth and adequately position Middle Georgia to capitalize on growing trends in the national market.
