EDD Board of Directors

The Economic Development District (EDD) Board makes it possible for communities in west central Minnesota to qualify for federal assistance to help fund infrastructure projects. This is accomplished by meeting requirements established by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA). The EDD Board oversees the activities of WCI in their role as the Economic Development District designee.
