Westchester County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
BJH, alongside SRI International, was engaged by the Westchester County Office of Economic Development in 2020 to create a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the county. This CEDS also included a recovery and implementation plan with a focus on the most resilient industry sectors in the county when considering the economic impacts of the COVID pandemic. While BJH’s partner, SRI, focused on workforce and smart technology infrastructure needs, BJH’s work concentrated on industry sectoral analysis and business development and attraction. In undertaking this analysis, BJH assessed the strengths and weaknesses of Westchester County’s current business environment and identified potential areas for growth, economic development, and marketing. BJH also created a Strategic Direction and Action Plan that built on our findings and provided a roadmap for implementation of key recommendations, along with key performance indicators. BJH continues to work with the Westchester County Office of Economic Development on implementation of the CEDS.
