Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

2022-2027 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) 2022-2027 presents a plan for regional recovery in Butte, Glenn, and Tehama Counties. 

3CORE, Inc. develops the region’s CEDS every five years for their Economic Development District representing Butte, Glenn, and Tehama Counties. The premise of the strategy is regional collaboration for collective impact. The strategy addresses the region’s unique regional and resilient economic context while following EDA guidelines for a CEDS.  3CORE’s main role is to convene stakeholders through the CEDS Committee to move multi-sector initiatives forward, support grant applications for viable programs and projects aligned with initiatives, promote resilience planning in each initiative, advance policy where possible and assist to mobilize and leverage resources among stakeholders.
