The Washington Economic Development Association
Economic development is fundamentally about jobs. But jobs don’t just happen. In fact, retaining existing jobs and recruiting new jobs in Washington State requires the work of many. First and foremost, businesses have to be willing to invest here and see a return on that investment. Banks must be ready to lend. Ports, cities, counties, and the state must be willing to invest in new infrastructure. Utilities must be ready to build new facilities. Economic development organizations across the state must work hard to ensure that local businesses have access to the resources they need to succeed — to create jobs.
Creating an environment that encourages high quality job creation in Washington State requires a strong presence in state legislative and regulatory arenas. It requires an association that has economic development as its core mission — its very reason for existence. WEDA is that organization.
