The Central Virginia Planning District Commission is updating the region's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), a five-year plan designed to strengthen and diversify the economy across Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, and Campbell counties, and the City of Lynchburg.

 

The updated strategy will help guide economic development priorities, strengthen regional collaboration, and improve the region's competitiveness for federal funding opportunities.

 

To help shape the plan, residents, business owners, farmers, and community stakeholders are encouraged to complete a public survey.

 

The survey is open through July 17.
