  • The purpose of the Committee, in accordance with U.S. Economic Development Administration Guidelines for Economic Development Districts (1992), is to oversee and guide District wide economic development planning.  The Committee will develop strategies to address economic development issues including the diversification of the District economy and job expansion. 

    Members will share information, advise the Economic Development District on areas of economic data development, and create a consensus plan of action that will be used to update the CEDS plan of the Treasure Coast Economic Development District.

  • There are to be five appointees from each of the four counties of the Treasure Coast Region (Indian River, Martin, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie) that participate in the activities of the Treasure Coast Economic Development District.  Committee members should be drawn from the range of groups noted below:
    Local Government Representatives, Chambers of Commerce, Special purpose economic development agencies and councils, workforce development boards, other industry representatives.

    Failure to attend two consecutive scheduled meetings without advance notification places a member in a delinquent status.  The Committee will notify the appointing authority of a member’s delinquent status and request that a new appointment be made.
