Troy, KS – Every five years, Mo-Kan Regional Council completes a regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). Determining the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) is the backbone of the CEDS planning process.

Want to help plan the future of your county? As a resident or business owner in the region, you are a very important person. We need a cross-section of participants from all economic activities in order to properly identify current and future economic growth needs. No planning experience necessary; we are looking for varied perspectives to help answer the question “Where are we now?” There are no right or wrong answers in the SWOT analysis.

Doniphan County SWOT Date: May 15, 2019
Time: 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Place: Library District 1, 105 N Main St., Troy, KS 66087

SWOT analysis elements are commonly understood in the following terms:

• Strengths: factors that give support the economic vitality of the region
• Weaknesses: factors that can be detrimental to economic growth
• Opportunities: favorable situations which can stimulate economic development
• Threats: unfavorable situations which can negatively affect the regional economy

Please join the Mo-Kan CEDS Committee in defining our regional economic development blueprint for the next five years.

Contact: Linda Laderoute at 816-233-3144 or email linda@mo-kan.org to RSVP by May 13th.

Light refreshments will be served. Two other Regional SWOT meetings will be held in Cameron, MO and St. Joseph, MO. The input from the three SWOT meetings will be combined to determine Mo-Kan’s CEDS goals and objectives.
