Contra Costa County is evolving and so does our work. Read more about the issues that the CCEP is addressing this year.
Economic Development
for the region
Land Use
For housing and jobs
We support smart land use decisions that help businesses and residents thrive with current focus on the Concord Community Reuse Project and Contra Costa County's Northern Waterfront.
Research Commute Patterns and Plan for the Future
Long commutes are a consequence of an ever-worsening housing/jobs imbalance in the Bay Area. Although the super-commuter is the national face of the crisis, the true victim might be better characterized as an employer in the East Bay.
Concord Community Reuse Project
Supporting efforts to make smart use of the Concord Naval Weapons Station now and in the future.
Northern Waterfront
Helping to better understand how the region can best utilize the 55-mile stretch of shoreline extending from Hercules to Oakley as a partner in Contra Costa County's Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative.
Workforce Development
Education and training for the future
We are committed to aligning education with the workforce needs of the future so that local businesses grow with local talent.
Earn & Learn
This initiative makes it easier for employers to provide work-based learning opportunities to local youth.
Equitable Economic Recovery Task Force
In response the the COVID-19 recession, we are partnering with public sector partners to assemble a group of key business leaders and regional stakeholders to help ensure an equitable economic recovery in Contra Costa County.

We will relentlessly pursue visionary investments in transportation, broadband, and energy infrastructure. Because without it, the economy and quality of life is destined for gridlock.
Autonomous Vehicles
Helping to bringing self-driving shuttles to Bishop Ranch in San Ramon to keep our region at the cutting edge of transportation innovation.
Broadband Access
Organizing the East Bay Broadband Consortium (EBBC) with other regional economic development organizations with a focus on improving broadband access to everyone in the region.
