Why is Investing in Economic Development Important?

Investing in Economic Development is crucial to growth of our region. The return of investment includes (but is not limited to) better infrastructure, higher wages, a stronger and diversified economy, increase in quality and accessibility to education, and expansion of resources. From 2023-2024, the EDC had three international recruitments that will create 70+ jobs and $65 million of investment (in year one of operations).
