The Consortium Joins Regional Leaders in Launching Comprehensive Economic Strategy For Greater Washington

September 23, 2026

Today we officially announced the formation of the Potomac Regional Alliance to strengthen the long-term competitiveness, resilience, and growth of the Washington Region and respond to the disruption resulting from cuts to federal jobs and spending.

Together with our partners, the Greater Washington Board of Trade, the Greater Washington Partnership, and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, we will strengthen our region’s economic development through a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the region.

Learn more about the Potomac Regional Alliance and our new CEDS initiative here: Potomac Regional Alliance to devise D.C.-area economic plan – Washington Business Journal.
