Their customers include local governments, businesses, and communities. An organization is needed because thousands compete for businesses and WCEDC guides interested companies through the development process. WCEDC's GrowWarrenNow plan aims to increase population, wealth, jobs, tax base, and retain local spending. Recent projects in Warren County include expansions for Fareway Food Stores, C&L Companies, Loftredo Fresh Produce, and additions of Dollar General, Subway, and a senior living facility.

WHO ARE THE CUSTOMERS (AND WHAT ARE THEIR INTERESTS)? Local Governments/Schools: Tax Base / Residents / Students Businesses: Increased Sales ($$) Communities: New Job Opportunities / Services / Buying Opportunities
WHY IS AN ORGANIZATION NEEDED FOR THIS? THOUSANDS of communities and economic development organizations compete for businesses (competition is fierce). Businesses want someone who stands in their corner and guides them through the development process. Businesses tend to desire communities which demonstrate development preparation and will make the necessary investments to attract deals. These communities WIN. Communities which are unprepared for growth or do not prioritize highly the needs of existing and prospective businesses LOSE.
