  • 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.

LINC Local Investment Commission 3100 Broadway, Suite 1100 - Kansas City, MO 64111 - (816) 889-5050 - www.kclinc.org Local Investment Commission (LINC) Vision Our Shared Vision A caring community that builds on its strengths to provide meaningful opportunities for children, families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, attain their highest potential, and contribute to the public good. Our Mission To provide leadership and influence to engage the Kansas City Community in creating the best service delivery system to support and strengthen children, families and individuals, holding that system accountable, and changing public attitudes towards the system. Our Guiding Principles 1. COMPREHENSIVENESS: Provide ready access to a full array of effective services. 2. PREVENTION: Emphasize “front-end” services that enhance development and prevent problems, rather than “back-end” crisis intervention. 3. OUTCOMES: Measure system performance by improved outcomes for children and families, not simply by the number and kind of services delivered. 4. INTENSITY: Offering services to the needed degree and in the appropriate time. 5. PARTICIPANT INVOLVEMENT: Use the needs, concerns, and opinions of individuals who use the service delivery system to drive improvements in the operation of the system. 6. NEIGHBORHOODS: Decentralize services to the places where people live, wherever appropriate, and utilize services to strengthen neighborhood capacity. 7. FLEXIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS: Create a delivery system, including programs and reimbursement mechanisms, that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to respond to the full spectrum of child, family and individual needs. 8. COLLABORATION: Connect public, private and community resources to create an integrated service delivery system.

The impact of research on productivity and economic activity — how it works, how it’s measured — is a fascinating topic that has captured the interest of many authors.
