Mohawk Valley Residents Asked to Weigh In on Regional Priorities in Short MVEDD Survey
The answers feed the plan the region uses when it applies for state and federal money, so a few minutes now can shape which Utica-area projects get pitched for funding.
The Mohawk Valley Economic Development District (MVEDD) has opened a short online survey for residents, business owners and community groups, WKTV reported on Nov. 10. It's free and takes a few minutes. Take the survey here. No closing date has been published.
What it asks about: what the region does well, what holds it back, and where it should focus: jobs and workforce training, downtown revitalization, resilience and quality of life.
Where the answers go: MVEDD is updating its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), the regional plan that lists priority projects. A current CEDS is usually required before a project can win U.S. Economic Development Administration grants, so it shapes what gets funded.
If there's a project you think Utica, Rome or the Valley towns need, this survey is one place to say it.
