EEDA launches proactive business retention strategy
Nothing is more important to Edmond’s economy than the businesses that operate here generating payroll, local spending and taxes. The future of these individual companies will have a substantial impact on the growth of the area’s economy, in fact it has been estimated that as much as 80 percent of the opportunities for new job creation comes from existing businesses in a community. In an effort to better serve the businesses and residents in our community, the Edmond Economic Development Authority is embarking on a campaign to assess the health of Edmond’s economic portfolio. In the coming months the EEDA will be contacting local companies to set up interviews to obtain detailed company background, industry trends, growth expectations and other factors that affect the company and its employees.
