Mission

Through a partnership of government and business, we attract and retain primary businesses to Kitsap County and its individual communities, ensuring healthy growth and a desirable quality of life.

Vision

A County-Wide Vision and Action Plan for Sustainable Economic Prosperity

Kitsap 2020 was a cross-community effort led by a Steering Committee to generate a vision, an action plan, and momentum to ensure sustainable economic prosperity for the communities of Kitsap County, now and into the future.   The project identified opportunities for the County, and produced strategies, initiatives, roles, and responsibilities to ensure quick wins today and long-term benefits.  The clarity and tools that have come from these efforts will help industry and government work together to retain, attract and grow business activity and quality jobs in Kitsap. Now is the time to turn this action plan into reality.  KEDA is the organization responsible to carry out the Kitsap 20/20 action plan.

KEDA Priorities

Direct progress on three critical issues from the 20/20 initiatives:

• Business Retention & Expansion
• Business financing & incentives
• Workforce & education

Review progress on other Kitsap 20/20 initiatives, which are spearheaded by other groups or locally.
