On 5 October 2010, the CDC unveiled a new economic-development strategic plan, Pulaski County: Mapping a Path Forward at a public hearing in Winamac. Developed from the input of local stakeholders, and formed through the efforts of a respected consulting firm the plan outlines the steps Pulaski County needs to take to become a more viable, healthy economic community. The plan was funded through a grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs.
In 2021, the CDC established a Strategic Visioning Committee to develop a streamlined, updated plan to replace Mapping a Path Forward; on Tuesday, 2 November, the full Commission adopted Simply Pulaski: A Plan for Quality to guide its operations for the foreseeable future.
