Expand your business with help from EDCO.
Grow with us.
Local, traded-sector businesses create the job engine of the Central Oregon economy by exporting products and services out of the region and importing wealth back into the community. From the smallest firm to the largest employer, your companies provide steady employment and economic stability for current and future generations, invest and give back to the community, and are the foundation on which we continue to grow and diversify the region.
As a business owner, you have enough to do each day to keep your company running smoothly and profitably. And when you begin to consider expanding, you may forget to look outside for guidance and help. We want you to know there is a strong team here at EDCO ready to assist you.Expansion plans often require financing, collaboration with local municipalities and agencies, sourcing vendors, workforce training and recruiting employees. EDCO acts as your business advocate during this process with six dedicated community managers each focusing on a Central Oregon community – Bend, Redmond, La Pine, Prineville, Madras, and Sisters.
