Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
|
(Click here to return to the Compacts content depot.)
The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) report reflects the outcomes of a five-month process that was facilitated by ZHA, a private consulting firm located in Annapolis, Maryland. The process involved objective trend analysis, input from local businesses, and a workshop attended by government, civic, business, and education leaders. The CEDS report identifies a number of strategies for helping York better focus its economic development efforts on industries and businesses that will build upon, take advantage of, and support the assets and structure of York County's existing economy.

Following the February 2004 release of the YorkCounts Action Plan and the related CEDS report, York County Economic Development Corporation assumed the leadership role for implementing recommendations contained in the CEDS report.
In September 2006, YCEDC celebrated the groundbreaking of Sovereign Bank Stadium -- part of the York Outdoor Recreation Complex (YORC) -- which is now home to the York Revelution, a minor league baseball team in the Atlantic League. The 5300-seat stadium is part of the Codorus Corridor redevelopment initiative.
YCEDC contracted to develop a marketing feasibility analysis, financial analysis, and highest/best use analysis for the Codorus Corridor Technology Park. A portion of the tech park is situated in the newly approved Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ).
YCEDC received approval for establishment of a Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ) in York County from the Ben Franklin Technology Development Authority. YCEDC will lead the KIZ initiative with numerous academic, business, and community partners.
