About the EDC
| The Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission
(EDC) is an organization that helps business. We are dedicated to
meeting the needs of today's industries and creating a competitive
economic climate where businesses can thrive. To meet this goal,
the EDC provides key services and support, which range from
relocation and expansion expertise to long-term planning with our
community partners. |
|
| Our charge is basically two-fold. To attract new
business investment, we market the Orlando region worldwide as a
top location for business. In addition, we work with local
companies to assist them with expansion plans and other business
concerns. The EDC is also home to the Metro Orlando Film
Commission, which markets the region as a top production
location.
With the support of our community partners, the EDC, since its
start in 1977, has successfully assisted thousands of companies
relocate, expand and grow in Metro Orlando. This has led to the
creation of more than 169,000 jobs; $9.2 billion in capital
investment; and over 77 million square feet of office and
industrial space leased or constructed.
A not-for-profit, private/public partnership, the EDC serves
Orange, Seminole, Lake and Osceola counties and the City of
Orlando. We are proud to have been recognized among the top
economic development groups in the world.
