Dear Mr. Day:
The Monroe County Board of Commissioners, having read the Comprehensive Economic

program needs, goals and objectives are adequately demonstrated in this document.
Therefore, we elect to have the district's latest CEDS meet the county's obligation for a
report in lieu of a separate document. The County requests continued participation in EDA
programs as an eligible county.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to
notify me.
