Orange County Workforce Investment Board About This Document The County of Orange and the Orange County Workforce Investment Board (OCWIB) developed the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) to support and grow Orange County’s economic strengths and propose solutions and investments to address its opportunities and weaknesses. Through the development of the 2013-2018 CEDS, the OCWIB will position the County to apply for, and utilize, resources to address these needs. The Orange County Business Council (OCBC) is Orange County’s leading voice of business conducting a high profile, proactive advocacy program for business interests throughout the County, the State and the nation, focused on four core initiatives: infrastructure, workforce development, workforce housing, and economic development. Working together, the OCBC and the OCWIB provide and develop the tools necessary to address Orange County’s economic competitiveness needs. The CEDS provides a blueprint and roadmap for how the Orange County economy can move forward over the next five years. The process provides a means for all stakeholders to begin to cooperate and orient their individual efforts to arrive at commonly accepted, countywide goals. Partnerships between business, government, non-profits, and academia can be galvanized through commonly agreed upon set of goals and actions strategies based on current economic data and best projections. Together, the process of creating together this CEDS will serve as the framework to update future versions of this living document, thereby ensuring the relationships forged here can be maintained.
