Del Norte County 2019-2024 CEDS
The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) provides an action plan for collaboration between government, private sector businesses, non-profit community organizations and the public to accomplish shared goals for economic development in Del Norte County and the Crescent City Harbor District with the assistance of a committee of business-people and agency representatives. The plan includes economic and demographic information and trends, a review of infrastructure and transportation needs, and goals and objectives for economic development in the region over the next five years. The plan also includes a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis as well, based on ADE's data analysis and input from the CEDS committee, government agencies, and the public.
