Strategic Economic Development Plan
Every five years, we pause to listen. To learn. To chart a course for the next chapter of DeKalb County’s economic story—and that story belongs to all of us.
The Strategic Economic Development Plan (SEDP) isn’t just another planning document. It’s our blueprint for creating opportunities, building prosperity, and ensuring that every corner of our county thrives.
Building on Success
DeKalb County has momentum. We’ve attracted major employers, supported growing businesses, and created thousands of jobs. Our previous strategic plan helped establish DeKalb as a destination for innovation, investment, and opportunity. Now, we’re ready to build on that foundation.
The next five years of economic growth will be guided by the voices of the people and businesses who call DeKalb home. Your insights, your priorities, and your vision for our shared future are essential to creating a plan that works for everyone. We just need to hear your input.
Sustainable economic development doesn’t just happen, it’s built on thoughtful planning and direct input from the people who live and work here.
—Randi Mason, Vice President of Economic Development at Decide DeKalb
