The NCW Economic Development District is membership-driven!

Our members, most of which are within our geographic footprint, are responsible for the overall direction of the agency.  EDD members often use their association within the organization to network with one another and collaborate on challenges and success. This becomes a tremendous resource and benefits our various areas and projects.

NWC EDD 2009 Members

Members are also encouraged to submit projects from for priority consideration. Once the projects submitted to the EDD are ranked and assigned a priority, we may be able to assist in securing funding, legislative support and grant writing.
