In everything we do, the EDCC is dedicated to successful, responsible economic development. We are committed to growing the economic climate of Colorado to the mutual benefit of employees, employers, governments and citizens.

The Regional Economic Development Forums will cover topics that target regional issues and provide substantive content for all EDCC members.

They will serve as an opportunity to engage EDCC members’ communities, businesses, and local leaders, and to support them in promoting successful and responsible economic development.

The one-day forums provide a platform for the hosting community to showcase successful economic development initiatives and provide lessons learned to attendees.

EDCC gathers our members in each region to discover the strengths, challenges, and opportunities of their region. With that dicovery, topics form, speakers are invited, communities – business leaders – elected officials – econonmic development stakeholders are gathered.

The information shared along with the collaboration of those in the room create a unique opportunity for the region to paint the way forward to economic success only unique to them.
