Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) Comprehensive Economic Development Steering Committee, with the support of Points Consulting LLC, have developed the CTUIR Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) to guide economic development for the Tribes over the next 5 years. The Committee's priority goals for the Tribes in the coming years are those related to workforce, land use, community and tourism, and internal collaboration.

A CEDS is a planning tool developed by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to assist regional economic development, promote economic resilience, encourage action from both private and public sections and allows Tribes to be eligible for EDA opportunity funds. Funding through the EDA can be used for planning, infrastructure projects, and forming programs that foster economic development.
