North San Diego County CEDS recommends expanding on veterans transition programs like REBOOT

North San Diego County faces a fundamental question about its future, how do historically separate communities come together to plan and support the development of a healthy, vibrant regional economy. The process to create this regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) was a critical element in continuing this discussion and developing an initial road map for regional economic development. This CEDS process brought together the region’s key private sector employers and regional policy makers to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the regional economy, identify priorities for the future, and develop strategies for meeting and tracking those regional economic priorities. While this CEDS is not meant to be the final word in North San Diego County’s regional economic development efforts it does represent an important breakthrough in bringing together the region’s critical voices from industry, education, infrastructure and local and regional government.

A CEDS is defined by the US Economic Development Administration as: “..a comprehensive plan that is created through a process that brings together public and private sector stakeholders to provide a regional economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen a regional economy.”

CED Recommends REBOOT –

Expand and improve the programs and services offered to veterans and active duty military families that are working to transition from the military to civilian employment. With over 54,000 veterans in North San Diego County, and most of the veterans support programs in the Southern portion of the county, the region should consider expanding programs like Reboot into North San Diego County.
