Redwood Region RISE's "Regional Plan Part 1" provides a baseline snapshot of the current state of the Redwood Region’s economy, key industries, labor force characteristics, climate resilience, and public health issues that impact communities’ well-being. Throughout the report, key metrics are highlighted to enable tracking of the region’s progress towards creation of an inclusive, climate-forward economy. The plan serves as the foundation for a community-driven Regional Roadmap aimed at guiding equitable and sustainable economic growth and resilience.

UPDATE: Regional Plan Part 1 is officially approved by the State Interagency Team, who noted: "Not only is the report a strong and comprehensive analysis of the region, but it is also very easy to read." Scroll down to read the Plan for yourself.

Building from this knowledge, Regional Plan Part 2 (est. release late August 2024) will include development strategies and recommend investments to advance strategic goals for growing sustainable industries and aligning workforce strategies with thriving wage opportunities in those industries.
