Executive Summary
<br />• A
<br />To develop the CEDS for the Triangle J region, leaders in business, economic development, academia
<br />and government came together to contribute their professional expertise and unique perspectives.
<br />Results from focus groups and surveys led to the development of key themes and were combined with
<br />the work of the Advisory Committee to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
<br />challenges for the region. This work formed the basis for the objectives, actions and strategies
<br />presented under four overarching goals in the strategic plan:
<br />The Triangle J Council of Governments has taken the lead role in developing the Region J CEDS, but it
<br />will take the concentrated energy, resources and knowledge of many strategic partners to complete
<br />the actions, meet the objectives and accomplish the goals. The CEDS contemplates a five -year horizon
<br />(2013- 2017), but recognizes that achieving the objectives will, in most cases, be more long term; the
<br />plan will require update and renewal as the five -year term ends.
<br />The Triangle J Council of Governments views this plan as a starting point, which takes the good work
<br />already being done in the region and moves it forward, bringing the public and private sectors together
<br />to continue to achieve great things. As the plan is implemented, it will be reworked, retooled and
<br />refined, reflecting the best that the region has to offer, now and in the future.
