Celebrating Community Economic Development Month
The Office of Community Services (OCS) is celebrating Community Economic Development (CED) Month during October by releasing new stories about how CED is revitalizing communities and highlighting CED grant recipients, both old and new.
CED Month is an annual celebration highlighting how communities come together to drive local economic development. Community-driven economic development supports entrepreneurs, expands businesses, creates jobs, and provides needed products and services to local residents. The Community Economic Development (CED) program supports these efforts by providing funds for business development and the creation of new, high-quality jobs with wraparound services for individuals with low incomes.
