Created in 2016 by the International Economic Development Council, the largest international professional trade association for economic developers, Economic Development Week aims to increase awareness for local programs that create jobs, advance career development opportunities and improve the quality of life in communities everywhere.
During the week of May 8-12, communities across North America will celebrate and recognize the contributions made by professional economic developers to create more economically vibrant and livable communities.
