What is our Mission?

The San Juan County Economic Development Council seeks to diversify and strengthen the economy of San Juan County and to promote and preserve the overall quality of life of islanders.

The Economic Development Council (EDC) is your source for island business-related information. The EDC is a business "enabler", linking resources, rendering assistance, and improving conditions for local business.

We do not create jobs; rather, we help build an environment that enables business owners to create jobs. The EDC is in the information business, and our primary product is knowledge. With well sourced knowledge; individuals, businesses and governmental policy makers can make decisions aligned with their stated objectives.
