Participate in Greater Bridgeport's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

MetroCOG is asking for your input as they develop the most recent Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is a “locally-based, regionally-driven economic development planning process.” Furthermore, the CEDS “serves as a means to engage community leaders, leverage the involvement of the private sector, and establish a strategic blueprint for regional collaboration.”

MetroCOG’s customized CEDS and Action Plan will integrate the Greater Bridgeport Region’s location, infrastructure, diverse culture and other unique characteristics. The CEDS will not only provide relevant background information, but also a realistic and successful approach towards economic growth that reflects the consensus and character of the entire Region.
