Redwood Region RISE Launches 10-Year Regional Roadmap
Redwood Region RISE—convened by the California Center for Rural Policy—proudly unveiled its 10-year "Regional Roadmap" for Tribal Lands, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, and Mendocino County. The data-and community-driven two-part plan includes a current economic state data snapshot and regional strategies for equitable economic growth.
The Roadmap focuses on sector-specific domains (Arts, Culture, and Tourism, Health and Caregiving, Renewable and Resilient Energy, and Working Lands and Blue Economy), as well as on cross-cutting enablers (Broadband, Entrepreneurship, Food Security and Access, Housing, Infrastructure and Transportation, and Workforce Development). RISE works to help create a resilient Redwood Region, providing stability, healthcare, and environmental flourishing, aiming to be a model of sustainable, inclusive growth.
