Economic Development

Our primary mission is to assist in the strengthening of our local and regional economies in partnership with our municipalities and the County Government.  Some of this work is completed solely within our organization and a significant amount of this work is completed through local, regional, State and federal partnerships.  Broadly speaking, we strive to strengthen the regional economy through the retention of existing businesses, encouraging the growth and development of new and existing businesses and entrepreneurs and the attraction of businesses located beyond our borders.
