CCED has facilitated several projects since its formation in 2007. Since that time, training, research, and leadership capacity building have been key pieces of the university’s community development outreach initiatives. Recent projects have supported Governor Beebe’s call for Arkansas counties to assess themselves and complete a community plan for development.
Past projects include:
- Desha County, Arkansas—facilitated the DeshaForward county-level strategic planning process in 2008-2009. This project included the Connect Arkansas e-Community pilot program.
