The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategic Plan (CEDS) aims to position the City of Littleton on a continued path of an economically diverse, resilient, and vibrant economy that allows people of all backgrounds to live, work, play, and visit.

Through the CEDS planning process, the City will create a framework to advance economic vitality and position Littleton as a City of character and opportunity with a financially sustainable model focusing on these key concepts:

  • Future Facing
  • Balancing Change
  • Inclusivity
  • Historic Preservation
  • People
  • Places

Methodological Approach

A successful strategic planning process is based on three primary principles: It is Future Oriented, Data Driven and People Focused. The ‘future orientation’ is particularly important to take account of rapidly emerging social and technological trends. The ‘data driven’ ensures the plan is built on solid research, public input and information, and is measurable. The ‘people focused’ is important to build support for the vision and goals for the school district, and to harness the best possible input into action plan formulation.
