Attracting new employers and helping existing companies expand requires visionary leadership from the public and private sectors. Successful economic development relies on a diverse mix of business, government, community, and academic partners.
NCEDA created the Economic Development Handbook to help citizens, elected officials, policymakers, and other stakeholders learn more about how North Carolina pursues jobs and business. Our handbook also details resources available to companies and communities.

“NCEDA has been a valuable part of my journey as a student. The scholarships have helped support my education, but what I value most are the people, connections, and opportunities to learn more about economic development across North Carolina. I love how welcoming NCEDA is and how much the organization supports students and young professionals who want to grow in the field.”
