These groups are in the initial phase of updating the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for the five-county CSEDD region. It serves Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa and Tuolumne counties, along with the cities of Sonora and Angels Camp.
Organizers are seeking feedback from a cross-section of the community to ensure that a good cross-section of the region learns as much as possible about local economies.

The EDD helps establish a strategic plan or economic development roadmap for regional collaboration, known as a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). It is a strategic plan for regional economic development, according to district officials. They added: “A CEDS is the result of a ‘regionally owned’ planning process designed to guide the economic prosperity and resilience of an area or region. It provides a coordination mechanism for individuals, organisations, local governments and industry private sector can engage in meaningful conversation and debate about the economic direction of their region.”
