The Office of Community Services (OCS) is celebrating Community Economic Development (CED) Month throughout October by releasing new stories emphasizing how CED is revitalizing communities and highlighting grant recipients, both old and new.
Community Economic Development Month highlights how communities come together to drive local economic development. Community-driven economic development supports entrepreneurs, expands businesses, creates jobs, and provides needed products and services. The CED program supports these efforts by funding business development with the aim of creating new, high-quality jobs with wraparound supportive services for individuals with low incomes.
Please send us any stories about how your agency has made a real impact in the economic well-being of your community! Send to csbg@dss.virginia.gov with the subject line "Community Economic Development Month."
