As part of our outreach for the 2023-2028 South Central Connecticut CEDS, REX - our regional economic development authority - has compiled a short survey for businesses, looking to determine the state of our regional economy currently and see what you anticipate for the future. This information is critical to producing a meaningful strategy. As US EDA (Economic Development Administration) funding is directly tied to the CEDS, we strongly encourage you to complete the survey. The survey closes on January 6, 2023. If you are interested in learning more about our current CEDS, click here.

Please share this link with your colleagues, suppliers, members, and friends so we can obtain a comprehensive understanding of our local economy.
