COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS)

                                                                                    2023 Community Recap

Annually, the Southeastern Montana Development Corporation (SEMDC) initiates public input throughout a  four-county region to assist in developing a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). In the past, we have held community meetings to gain insight into trends, strengths, and concerns in various communities. This year, we held in-person meetings but also designed surveys to invite conversation about the current state of each community, to discuss how things have changed from last year, and to note what projects are priorities to be completed for the following year(s). These conversations are incorporated into a five-year CEDS planning document created by SEMDC to be utilized in the process of assisting the communities in Southeastern Montana.

This year it was especially important to host community meetings because of the economic impacts on our region recently. SEMDC is working with citizens and communities to find ways to maximize positive impacts and mitigate negative ones. The more individuals in each community understand economic change and its impacts, proactively plan, and communicate within the community and region, the better the outcomes will be.

Our CEDS process was featured on the Best Practices section of the National Association of Development Organizations website. Click Here to see that information.
