Connecting Assets with Opportunities

Grant Program (CDBG) Planning and Technical Assistance Grant
2 012
Introduction
Over the years, Lassen County, City of Susanville, and other
organizations have invested time and money in developing
strategies and plans for economic development and tourism.
Unfortunately, ensuring a sufficient and consistent level of staffing
and budgets committed to implementing these plans has been a
challenge.
The Lassen Economic Development Council (LEDC) is an ad hoc
committee comprised of key community stakeholders. The
organization’s purpose is to work on issues and constraints to
economic development. The LEDC had identified some projects that
were being moved forward. However, there was no current
comprehensive economic development plan for the county.
With funding from the State of California Community Development
Block Grant program the County decided to update their 2004
Economic Development Strategy and believed this was also an
opportunity to strengthen and support the LEDC’s mission. The
County requested and LEDC accepted to take the lead on creating a
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).
The CEDS (a separate document from this Implementation Guide)
outlines three priority initiatives identified by LEDC and the CEDS
committee — Attracting Visitors, Growing Local, and Enhancing the
Traded Sector. The CEDS was delivered to and accepted by the
Lassen County Board of Supervisors; it provides recommended
actions and resources for moving initiatives forward and measuring
progress.
Implementation Guide
This Implementation Guide was developed specifically for LEDC to
assist them in executing their areas of responsibility as outlined in
the Lassen County CEDS.
This Guide along with its corresponding appendices is a companion
piece to the Lassen County CEDS. For each initiative, there is an
implementation matrix to help LEDC identify and monitor:
 Champions
 Action Teams
 Pledges provided by CEDS committee members

Launching the Plan
Right now the most critical portion of the Lassen County Action Plan
is Getting Organized. By concentrating on these organizational
action items, many of which are just one-time items, the LEDC will
be firmly established and prepared to move forward on the
additional initiatives.
The first section of the Guide is therefore designed to assist LEDC
with kicking off the initial 30-60-90 days — Getting Organized. Then
the group should be prepared to begin moving to planning and
executing initiatives and monitoring progress to ensure success.
Using the Implementation Guide
Detailed step-by-step actions are presented for each of the three
initiatives. Most likely these will not be implemented consecutively.
But with the Champions, Action Teams, and proper resources in
place, multiple activities should run simultaneously with good
organization.
The Guide can be copied and sections distributed to those
Champions and Action Teams responsible for various sections. This
will equip the Action Teams with the information and resources to
manage implementation.
All pieces of this Guide have been delivered in both print and
electronic format. It is intended to be a dynamic, working document
that is updated, expanded upon, and revised as successes are
achieved, resources become available, and situations change.
