Welcome to Redwood Region RISE (Resilient Inclusive Sustainable Economy)'s economic development efforts. We are a regional community coalition of 130+ seated members working with over a thousand residents working to develop and implement a 10-year vision—our "Regional Roadmap"—to bring good, sustainable jobs to Tribal Lands, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, and Mendocino Counties through the California Jobs First initiative.
We envision the Redwood Region a healing place where everyone belongs, with stable jobs, accessible healthcare, and a flourishing natural environment. Together, we work towards a future where anyone can thrive.
Our Regional Roadmap aims to guide equitable investment through...
- Creating thriving-wage opportunities for workers in our region ("quality jobs")
- Pursuing sustainable economic growth (diversifying our local and regional economies)
- Advancing California’s goals for a climate-forward future (carbon-neutrality and beyond)
- Creating inclusive Planning Tables that empower communities that don't always participate in or benefit from economic development planning processes.
Dive into our Regional Roadmap and provide Public Comment through December 1, 2024.
