Our Mission

SEDI believes that sustainable economic development is fundamental to building a better future for Coconino County residents. We increase sustainable economic opportunities by:

Creating and implementing a comprehensive, collaborative, regional sustainable development effort that includes all incorporated and unincorporated communities, the county, Native American communities, state and federal agencies, and the business community.
Developing long-term, inclusive funding sources to implement sustainable development strategies.
Identifying and empowering a central entity to implement the plan and to ensure accountability and plan longevity.
Developing and implementing a strong educational process that will inform public, private, and nonprofit entities, as well as consumers, about the economic, social, and environmental value of sustainable development to the region.
Developing and maintaining an advanced communications network to ensure the widespread dissemination of information and to reduce the size of the planning area.
Becoming the center for sustainable policy, serving in a monitoring and advising role for regional activities.
