Economic Recovery Initiative
Supporting Coos, Curry, & Douglas Counties
CCD’s Economic Recovery Initiative is a 24-month project that will focus on the regional economic recovery in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Project goals are to bring resources to the region during these challenging times and create a long-term resiliency plan to strengthen the region when facing future disasters. The Economic Recovery Initiative is made possible by an EDA CARES Act Recovery Assistance Planning Grant.
