An important correction to The Commons coverage of SeVEDS and the CEDS project process in this weeks paper: "Shortlisted projects — five to 10 of them —could receive federal or community resources." This is 100% false. On our website page seveds/ceds-projects/ , where attendees were directed for more information regarding projects, it says: What is the value to my project being included in the Windham Region CEDS? The CEDS is a regional plan for growth of the economy created using a regional public approach. It is helpful for the rest of the region as well as potential new businesses to understand what we as a region are trying to accomplish. Inclusion of your project in the CEDS indicates it is aligned with regional goals for growth. Identification of your project as a vital project indicates the project is of the highest priority and expected to have the greatest impacts on achieving the regional goals. While inclusion of your project in no way guarantees funding of any sort, many federal agencies look more favorably upon projects which have the kind of broad support inclusion in a region CEDS indicates. EDA often requires a CEDS be in place for a region in order for a project grant application to be considered.
