For Public Review: Bering Straits Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

Sept 30, 2021

The Bering Strait 2021 Update to our Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy is the result of a continuous planning process at the local and regional level in the Nome Census Area of Northwestern Alaska. The goal of this process is to provide for sustainable and responsible development that benefit the people of the Bering Strait region and improves the quality of life through economic opportunity. The current 5-year CEDS (2019-2024) builds on the work of previous strategy committees and provides strategic direction for organizations and stakeholders in the region for the next five years.

The Bering Strait Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy is updated annually. It reflects the more recent economic and demographic data, and the requisite public process to ensure that the plan reflects the wishes of the broader region. It was developed with respect to the Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) CEDS Content Guidelines.
