ESDC’s approach to economic development is dynamic. We believe that business growth is vital to the creation and retention of jobs, hiring locally reduces the carbon footprint as well as the turnover rate of employees, and basic needs have to be met so that the members of the communities we serve can take advantage of professional and developmental opportunities. We are all integral parts of our local economy, and we are in it together.
A community organization should channel the voice of the community it serves. ESDC engages the community by conducting an annual survey to gain an understanding of the needs of local small businesses and the families who operate them. From our homeless population to our local artists, and from our small business owners to our corporate CEOs, we are all an integral part of our local economy and each have a role in making it stronger, more prosperous, and more inclusive.
Why reinvent the wheel? When we effectively leverage our partnerships, we can efficiently connect our clients to the programs and services they need. ESDC works closely with its partners in both the private and nonprofit sector in order to achieve the greatest impact in the communities we serve.
ESDC understands that the needs of the community are not static, but rather evolving. Our organic approach to meeting the needs of the communities we serve allows us to rise to the occasion and offer the programming and services that will address the challenges currently being experienced by individuals and businesses.
ESDC is in constant search of new ways to foster economic growth by incorporating the latest technology and research to creatively address the needs of the individuals and businesses we serve.
