Economic Strategy References

The Eastern Sierra has had several economic strategy documents developed in the past decade to help guide development.

The following reports gathered here into a single hub, represent an overview of primary regional and local community and economic strategies. These are suggested for review by individuals interested in Community and Economic Development practices in the Eastern Sierra.

Participants of the Fall 2025 CED Workshops should review this material prior to and during the program. Advisory stakeholders suggested that many objectives and actions need activation that community groups and stakeholders may provide.
