Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy 2023 Update

The Centralina Economic Development District (EDD) is thrilled to share the progress made in 2023 towards implementing the region’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). Guided by the “Prosperity for All” vision, this strategy emphasizes collaboration to create a more inclusive and globally connected future for the greater Charlotte region.

In 2023, significant strides were made across the three core goals: expanding economic opportunity, building supportive infrastructure, and strengthening regional resilience. With 58 action items identified, including 26 marked as urgent, the Centralina EDD and its partners have already initiated 34 of these initiatives. Efforts include hosting targeted job fairs, supporting workforce development through education partnerships, and advancing regional mobility through the Connect Beyond plan.

Looking ahead, Centralina EDD remains committed to fostering economic growth and equity across the region, leveraging partnerships and innovation to ensure long-term prosperity for businesses, workers, and communities.
