About CCED
Working with UW-Extension county and campus partners we create, apply and transfer multi-disciplinary knowledge to help people understand community change and identify opportunities.
Communities often ask:
- What types of comprehensive economic development strategy can we pursue?
- Where does our economy appear to be heading?
- What has been happening to local businesses and employment?
- How can we create sufficient jobs within livable wages to support families?
- How can we improve the competitiveness of our shopping areas?
- How can we build stronger capacity in our community to deal with change?
How we can help:
- community economic analysis
- business district and trade area analysis
- economic impact analysis
- problem definition and solution identification
- community economic development strategy building
- building social capital
- building learning organizations and communities
and more . . . .
