Custer Economic Development Association
Custer Economic Development Association (CEDA) was founded as a nonprofit organization to address the economic development needs within the boundaries of Custer County, Idaho. We help connect our businesses and communities to resources.
Economic development is fundamentally about a better quality of life. This is the underlying mission of economic developers. They work every day to help sustain community vitality through business retention, expansion, and recruitment, as well as entrepreneurial development, community enrichment and development. They can be instrumental in special community projects that help invigorate the quality of life in our communities.
Our services offer you confidential one on one consultation
