text: In 1973, the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce designated the NWRPC as an Economic Development District (EDD). As a result, a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is prepared to guide the economic growth of the District. This year NWRPC and Visions Northwest, who served as the CEDS Strategy Committee, prepared a major update to the CEDS. The document is being distributed in two shapes this year. The first being a "highlights and summary" document consisting of the top three priority goals and key committed projects set to take place in the region. The second provides an analysis of local conditions; identifies the problems, needs, and opportunities of the district; defines the vision, goals, and objectives of the district; and designates and coordinates strategies and/or activities to accomplish and implement its goals.
  Formal public comments on the final draft of the CEDS can be made from September 25 through October 27, 2015. To request a hard copy you may contact Crystal Rohde, who is taking all public comments on the document at 715-635-2197 or email. Any public comments received will be incorporated into the final strategy to be adopted by the NWRPC Executive Committee at the October 28, 2015 meeting in Spooner.
