Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Summit (Virtual Event)

Description

We cordially invite you to join us online on July 26 at 10:00AM for a highly informative discussion that aims to shed light on the significant impact of the newly approved South Central Pennsylvania Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). This event serves as an opportunity for regional stakeholders to gather and gain valuable insights into how this strategic roadmap can foster enhanced economic collaboration throughout our nine-county area.

During the session, we will delve into the various aspects of the South Central Pennsylvania CEDS and explore how it can effectively guide and inform our collective approach to regional growth and investment. This comprehensive strategy, recently approved at the federal level, holds immense potential for shaping our economic landscape by providing a framework for collaboration among key stakeholders.

The event will feature a diverse range of attendees, including prominent representatives from higher education institutions, workforce organizations, labor associations, manufacturing sectors, and local economic development entities. This diverse mix of stakeholders ensures a holistic perspective and meaningful dialogue surrounding the opportunities and challenges we face as a region.

Hosted by CAPCOG (Central Pennsylvania Council of Governments) in collaboration with the Harrisburg Regional Chamber/CREDC (Capital Region Economic Development Corporation), this session promises to be an engaging and enlightening experience. Together, we will explore the CEDS's core components, highlight its potential impact on economic development, and encourage an open exchange of ideas and strategies to drive progress in our region.
