Created in 2016 by International Economic Development Council (IEDC), the largest international professional trade association for economic developers, Economic Development Week aims to increase awareness for local programs that create jobs, advance career development opportunities, and improve the quality of life in communities everywhere.
The City of Windsor, the County of Essex and communities across the entire nation are participating in the 2024 National Economic Development Week celebration.
We would like to hear from you.
Please take the Economic Development Annual Business Conditions Survey to provide our team with insight into the Windsor-Essex business community and broader programming and supports needed. Your feedback is important.
Reach out to our regional economic development team and government partners.
