NMCOG: Economic Development Strategy for Greater Lowell SWOT Analysis Session

January 21, 2020, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM @ Tewksbury Public Library

The Northern Middlesex Council of Governments (NMCOG) is seeking public input for the Greater Lowell Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration. When complete, the Greater Lowell CEDS will summarize the economic resources of the region, establish an economic development vision for Greater Lowell, identify goals, and establish a regional Five-Year Action Plan with priority projects to foster continued economic growth and vitality. The CEDS must also incorporate the concept of economic resilience, e.g the ability to withstand and recover from economic shifts, natural disasters, and the impacts of climate change. Regions must update their CEDS every five years to qualify for EDA assistance under the Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance programs. More info can be found at www.nmcog.org/ceds. If you have questions or require additional info, please contact Jeff Owen, Regional Planner, at jowen@nmcog.org.
