EDC Team Jefferson is designated by the Washington State Department of Commerce as an associate development organization and the economic development council (EDC) for Jefferson County. We connect businesses to resources and funding, and work with government and partner organizations to help our communities thrive.
EDC Team Jefferson focuses on high-leverage, place-based activities that improve the economic well-being and quality of life for people in Jefferson County, and the living systems in which we are embedded.
Localized economic, ecologic, and social prosperity for generations to come.
We work toward a resilient future that elevates the diverse potential of all people who reside in this unique place so we can accomplish together what we cannot alone.
The EDC offers free one-on-one business counseling with a professional Business Services Director. We also offer classes on a variety of topics, from business planning to LEAN business practices, and fee-based services such as business valuation. We also work with business counselors from the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the Center for Inclusive Entreprenership to help you find just the help you need for your business to grow and thrive.
Through our association with LION and our administration of state and federal grants, we are able to connect business owners with sources of funding to which they may not otherwise have access. In 2023 there were $1,623,500 in private funds invested in Jefferson County businesses.
The EDC can help you connect with programs that offer marketing help!
