CEDS Public Comment Period Open
The Southeast Idaho Council of Governments (SICOG) released its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) report for public comment.
SICOG was awarded a CEDS grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). A CEDS is a strategy-driven plan for a region to most effectively increase its economic development efforts. The report was created as a result of a public outreach and engagement process that allowed regional stakeholders to provide input into the economic assets, as well as economic liabilities, of the region. The plan is broad based and should serve as a guide for communities to enhance their economic ecosystem and build capacity for the region.
A CEDS is an important economic development tool for the region as beyond setting out a guide for the communities in the region.
The EDA regulations require a thirty (30) day public comment period where the report is available for review by the public who are invited to provide comments regarding the reports contents.
Those interested in reviewing the CEDS report can download a copy here: 2020 CEDS - Draft
The public is invited to submit written comments via email at: krystal@sicog.org

How We Can Help
|
Upgrading a failing water system or redeveloping a blighted area of town is a huge undertaking, and most small communities do not have the expertise nor the resources to take it on alone. SICOG’s Community and Economic Development team has the savvy and the experience to handle the planning, coordination and administration of the public works and redevelopment projects that are so critical to thriving communities. We can also help source the funding, working closely with communities to pull together project financing via grants, loans, and bonds and other financing tools.
How We’ve Helped Communities.
It may help to understand the extent of the ways we can help communities by reading case studies on projects we have helped communities implement and complete. You'll find them on our Projects and Services page.

Public Transportation.“Public transportation plays a vital role in the success of a regional economy. Whether it is transporting employees to and from work, relieving congestion on crowded roads, or providing a cost effective alternative to land use issues, public transportation will continue to play a role in helping Idaho’s economy grow and succeed.” --Idaho Transportation Department
SICOG has established relationships with the Idaho Transportation Department, Bannock Transportation Planning Organization and public transportation providers like Pocatello Regional Transit in delivering various strategic initiatives. SICOG’s diverse portfolio of transportation projects include creating and implementing communication plans that increase awareness, support, and usage of public transportation options; mobility management strategies that offer training to residents of our communities; and the planning and coordination of resources to enhance the delivery of transportation services in Idaho.
