Missouri Community Betterment

As the engine that drives our state's progress, economic development is assuming a greater role in the University of Missouri System's mission. Responding to the University of Missouri's enhanced emphasis on economic development, University of Missouri Extension established, in 2005, the Community Economic & Entrepreneurial Development (Ex CEED) Program to focus on economic development opportunities in rural communities. ExCEED uses multi-disciplinary and geographically based teams to facilitate entrepreneurship as a rural economic development strategy in communities throughout Missouri.
