Redwood RISE's Regional Roadmap
The Regional Roadmap is the foundation of everything Redwood Region RISE does — a 10-year vision informed and endorsed by 175+ organizations and community leaders that combines detailed economic analysis with ambitious strategies across four key sectors.
Formally recognized by the U.S. Economic Development Administration as a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, it represents a significant milestone for the region and unlocks new pathways for federal investment. Explore the full Roadmap, dive into the two-part Regional Plan, and watch our explainer and strategy videos to understand the vision, the data, and the path forward for the Redwood Region.
Data-Driven Snapshot of the Redwood Region
Regional Plan Part 1 offers a comprehensive, data-driven snapshot of the Redwood Region's economy, workforce, public health, and climate challenges — documenting the real conditions facing families, workers, Tribal communities, and rural residents across all five counties. It's an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the region's needs and opportunities, from grant writers and policymakers to community advocates and business leaders.
Strategies to Boost Key Sectors and Enabling Sectors
Regional Plan Part 2 translates that data into action — outlining concrete strategies across four target sectors and six cross-cutting areas like housing, broadband, and workforce development to guide equitable, climate-forward growth over the next decade. Formally accepted by the U.S. Economic Development Administration, it's a living guide for the investments, partnerships, and policies that will shape the region's future — and a valuable tool for anyone working to strengthen communities across the Redwood Region.
