Regional economic plan up for review

The Cowlitz-Wahkiakum Council of Governments (CWCOG), on behalf of the Southwest Washington Economic Development Commission (SWEDC), invites the public to comment on the draft 2014—2018 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategic Plan (CEDS).

The CEDS identifies projects of regional significance as well as projects funded by federal, state, and local agencies in the three-county SWEDC district, including Cowlitz, Lewis and Wahkiakum. It also lists planned projects for which agencies will seek funding over the same five-year period.

Additionally, the 2014—2018 CEDS identifies economic development goals and objectives for the three county region.
