The Custer County Economic Prosperity Strategic Plan is a community-driven vision intended to guide the County in implementing goals, priorities, and strategies that directly contribute to its economic development. The plan focuses on three priority areas: business expansion, attraction and retention; infrastructure; and tourism. It aims to create policies and support that will encourage economic and social success for everyone in the county. The plan emphasizes preserving the county's lifestyle, supporting the community, and fostering government collaboration to protect assets and leverage them for the future.
