Madison County is committed to advancing a forward-looking Economic Development Strategic Plan aligned with regional growth trends and local economic opportunities. The County's last comprehensive strategic plan was developed under the direction of the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board (CNYRPD), in collaboration with Madison County department heads, non-profits, and community volunteers in 2012–2013. That plan is available at: https://www.madisoncounty.ny.gov/DocumentCenter/View/897/2013-Economic-Development-Strategy-for-Madison-County-PDF With evolving economic conditions — including significant semiconductor investment in the broader CNY region, expanded operations of the Oneida Indian Nation, growth in key agricultural and tourism sectors, a shifting remote-work landscape, and pressing housing and broadband infrastructure needs — an updated analysis is essential to guide strategic initiatives and investment priorities for the coming years. The plan should align with ongoing efforts of the Madison County Industrial Development Agency (MCIDA) and the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council (CNY REDC) to anticipate and plan for future economic and demographic change.
