The Economic Development Council of Collier County (EDC) was established in 1976 to focus
on the local economy and the corresponding infrastructure required to successfully
diversify the county's economic base. In 1997, the EDC and Collier County Board of

available to assist the efforts of economic development within the community.

Regulatory Process, Research & Technology Park development, IDA bonds, Industry
Roundtable discussions, dynamic private-sector business membership, community events &
