2009 FNSB Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)
The FNSB Economic Development Commission developed the FNSB Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) in 1999. The CEDS is reviewed annually, and revised every five years. It's last revision was in 2006 and it was updated in 2007, 2008 and 2009. We are in the process of selecting a consultant to assist us in revising our CEDS in 2010.
2009 CEDS adopted 09/29/2009 (short version)
