The NCWRPC is currently in the process of updating their Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. The NCWRPC began this process in the summer of 2025 with adoption anticipated in early 2026. The CEDS provides a detailed assessment of economic development conditions throughout North Central Wisconsin, and identifies a Regional Economic Development Strategy, which includes goals and objectives. The CEDS also includes a list of critical regional investment projects. This then provides the foundation for the NCWRPC economic development work plan. Along with maintaining our designation as an Economic Development District (EDD), updating the CEDS provides access to grant funds from EDA for our Region
A CEDS Committee made up of economic development professionals throughout the Region has been established and will meet a total of three times throughout the process to review recent data trends, conduct a SWOT Analysis, and to establish goals and a regional strategy for the Region.
Draft chapters and meeting notes are provided below.
