From the meeting
The council said EDA issued a new Partnership Planning grant for the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) planning effort, and project kickoff and award onboarding were underway. CEDS planning activities had already begun, and the Federal Financial Report was due October 30, 2026. This points to an active grant-funded planning engagement with near-term reporting and implementation work still in motion.
