New Members, 2026 FAM Tour, and More!

Welcome City of Hemet We are so delighted to officially welcome the  City of Hemet to the EDC. As our region continues to grow, regional collaboration is more important than ever. With economic development being a strong focus for the City of Hemet, and the EDC's commitment to strengthening the region, this new partnership is an important step toward achieving our mission of fostering sustainable growth, innovation, and prosperity. Many EDC members already do business in, or provide services in Hemet, and we are excited to join them in supporting growth throughout the region. Thank you to the City of Hemet for your partnership and support!   2026 EDC FAM Tour Each year, our familiarization "FAM" Tour is our most exciting event. We bring in industry-specific site selectors from across the country to tour the region and learn why this is the best place in California to do business. This tour has garnered multiple project inquiries that would not have come our way otherwise. There is no better way to market our region to the people working these projects than to have them here in person. That is why your sponsorship is so important...and it happens to be the only way to get an invite to this event. We purposely keep the tour intimate so that the site selectors can build relationships with the people who can get projects done here.  For more information on how to participate, email connie: [email protected]  TEDx Temecula Once a year, TEDx Temecula brings together the valley's brightest thinkers, performers, and visionaries for a one-day conference to explore what's possible in our community and beyond.  If you haven't had a chance to attend TEDx Temecula before, you have another opportunity coming up on September 26th.  There are also opportunities to sponsor this amazing community event.
