PUBLIC NOTICE

The Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA) seeks public comment on its Draft Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).  The CEDS serves as a blueprint for economic resiliency for the Omaha-Council Bluffs six-county region.  The public comment period runs from Nov. 4 to Dec. 4, 2020.

The MAPA CEDS presents a road map to strengthen and diversify the regional economy through the collaboration of the public and private sectors. It builds upon the work of several recent, major planning initiatives including Heartland 2050, the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan, the Greater Omaha Chamber’s Prosper Omaha 2.0 and ConnectGO initiatives and Metro Smart Cities.

MAPA is responsible for submitting an updated CEDS to the U.S. Economic Development Administration every five years.
