2023 Annual CEDS Workshop

The Western Nevada Development District and the University Center for Economic Development, part of the College of Business at the University of Nevada, Reno, conducted the annual evaluation and update workshop for WNDD’s 2020 through 2025 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy last Friday. This strategic economic development planning workshop was hosted by the City of Fernley in the City Council Chambers.

Workshop participants included WNDD members and key community stakeholders who were given an opportunity to evaluate the existing strategic economic development vision, goals, and actionable items. They also prioritized projects, assessed existing local and regional socio-demographics, and economic and housing conditions. The workshop completed a revised Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis for the region, and teed up the final selection of revised priority CEDS projects for the coming year.

Shout out to Frederick Steinmann, DPPD, Director of the University Center for Economic Development for facilitating a brisk and meaningful workshop.
