About the Organization–CEDA was created in 1986 as a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation then called the Southeastern Minnesota Development Corporation. In 2010, the agency became Community & Economic Development Associates (CEDA) as a result of increased interest and inquiries received from communities outside of the agency’s original service area of Southeast Minnesota. The name change reflects CEDA’s commitment to providing services to fit the needs of any rural community. CEDA provides on-site and/or project based economic and community development and other services to rural communities and counties in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa currently. Our team brings with it over 150 years of collective development experience.
