Humboldt CEDS Public Engagement Meeting

The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is our county’s framework to grow a diverse and thriving economy, outline a plan for regional resilience, and improve the quality of life for everyone who lives in Humboldt. This collaborative process is a unique opportunity for our community to come together and discuss the key issues we are facing, and to design a roadmap toward our mutual thriving. The finalized CEDS document offers an in-depth analysis of the strengths of our region, identifies gaps in our equity, infrastructure, and the economy that need to be addressed, and outlines a regional action plan, measures of economic resilience and performance indicators to track our progress.

Join the County Economic Development Department at an in-person CEDS Roadshow on Monday, August 29, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at the River Lodge Conference Center, 1800 Riverwalk Drive, in Fortuna. During this interactive meeting, County staff and volunteers will be listening to your insights and ideas on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats our county is facing. In a series of small group discussions, they will ask for your input on a range of topics including housing, childcare, tourism, education, and more.
