Action Plan

Priority Projects

After validation of the District’s goals and objectives, and assessing collected data; WCIDD staff, local officials, LEDOs and the CEDS Committee developed a five year plan that outlines existing and proposed projects in all six counties that will contribute to attainment of established goals and objectives. The CEDS Committee was then task to identify the top projects that would potentially have the greatest regional impact in terms of investment and job creation. In prioritizing these projects the committee considered many factors including: unemployment rates, median income, commuting patterns, population growth, project contribution toward attainment of goals, project readiness and the likelihood of funding to advance the project within the next 5 years. This process resulted in the identification of the following priority projects.
