South Central Minnesota is building a five–year regional plan through 2030. Over the next year, we’ll gather ideas from across the region to build a shared picture of where we’re headed, where we want to go, and how we’ll get there. Think of it as a community vision board, built with input from everyone who calls this place home: residents, workers, farmers, business owners, educators, and students. We’ll update this page throughout the year with new surveys, events, and draft materials.
How can you participate?
• Take a survey (3–7 minutes each)
• Join an event (forums, roundtables, and focus groups)
• Invite us to your event — we’ll come to you!
CEDS Surveys
Help steer priorities by completing one or more of these quick surveys:
Human capital: for anyone living or working in the region
Student: for all local students
Education: for teachers, counselors, and education staff
Note: Surveys are anonymous unless you choose to share contact information for follow–up. More surveys will be added throughout the year.

We’ll be hosting sessions across the region and tabling at community events.
