Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation (Metro Denver EDC)
Often called a “center of influence,” the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation (Metro Denver EDC) was the nation’s first regional economic development organization. From Colorado Springs to Fort Collins and Golden to Greeley, we represent the 11-counties that contribute to our robust economy and incredible culture. As the economic development function of the broader Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, the EDC serves the 11-county territory that represents over two-thirds of the state’s population and three-quarters of the GDP. Our efforts to foster a competitive environment that attracts companies and jobs are supported by the region’s business community, with primary funding from private-sector investors, as well as participating cities and counties. Strategic initiatives are collaboratively developed among our partners, with final decision-making authority vested in an investor board of directors. Our approach to business attraction is distinctive. Each of Metro Denver EDC’s economic development partner organizations is dedicated to the economic well-being of the entire region. Acting as ambassadors, they emphasize the advantages of Metro Denver before highlighting individual community benefits.
