The Central Shenandoah Planning District Commission's community and economic development program supports regional prosperity, aligning local priorities with regional growth objectives through our Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).

We incubate and manage GoVirginia projects to create high-paying job opportunities throughout the Valley, working with regional partners to support initiatives that strengthen our economic base and provide career advancement opportunities for residents.

We connect our member jurisdictions with essential planning and implementation funding to improve community facilities, revitalize downtown areas, and facilitate the adaptive reuse of industrial sites.

By integrating economic development strategy with community improvement initiatives, we foster sustainable growth that enhances both job creation and quality of life, ensuring that economic prosperity is accessible across our diverse communities while preserving the character and assets that make the Central Shenandoah Valley an attractive place to live and work.
