Working with you to grow New York State
The New York State Economic Development Council is a broad based economic development organization that represents Industrial Development Agencies, Local Development Corporations, commercial and investment banks, underwriters, bond counsels, utilities, chambers of commerce, higher education institutions, and private corporations.
Our mission is to provide strong leadership that delivers cost-effective value to members through advocacy, professional development, communications, networking, project lead generation, and the creation of opportunities to retain and attract new investment and jobs to our communities.
The strength of NYSEDC is our members: the economic development and business leaders who collaborate locally and across the state to generate private-sector investment and quality jobs in every region of New York.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the NYSEDC membership, I want to invite you to become a member of NYSEDC and leverage the value we bring to our member organizations and businesses.
