Community Economic Analysis for Rural Wisconsin Communities – Brodhead
The Community Economic Analysis for Rural Wisconsin Communities (CEA-RWC) program equips small communities with tools to plan for a prosperous future, focusing on strengthening local economic development efforts.
About the Program
The Community Economic Analysis for Rural Wisconsin Communities (CEA-RWC) program utilizes a structured and flexible approach, fostering community leadership, identifying economic factors, exploring policy options, and developing action plans with 3-5 priorities. Throughout the process, community leaders collaborate with members and stakeholders through environmental scans, priority identification, and plan drafting.
CEA-RWC Pilot Communities
Many rural communities struggle with identifying opportunities and strategies to move community economic development efforts forward. These rural communities often do not have the needed resources (i.e., staff, money or local expertise) to engage in comprehensive community economic development planning. The Community Economic Analysis for Rural Wisconsin Communities (CEA-RWC) pilot program is a joint effort between the University of Wisconsin, the Division of Extension, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to bring a structured community economic development strategic planning program to a set of rural Wisconsin communities.
