Welcome to the Roanoke Valley - Alleghany Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (RVARCEDS) web site. This site has been established to host information related to the development of the Roanoke Valley - Alleghany Regional CEDS document, which is scheduled to be completed in early 2009. The site also seeks to inform the public as to progress made on the development of the CEDS strategy, invite comments from members of the public on the strategy, and to serve as an important portal for the dissemination of project information to all interested audiences.

Please utilize the menu above to navigate to more information on the CEDS process, a list of leaders involved in the development of the CEDS strategy, a meeting schedule with links to minutes and agendas, information from the CEDS background data and analysis scope, important project documents, and a project listing.

Anyone with comments on the strategy, the CEDS process, or any of the associated documents on this site are encouraged to contact the staff of the Roanoke Valley - Alleghany Regional  Commission.

This project is funded in part by the US Economic Development Administration, an agency of the US  Department of Commerce.
