Lee County Economic Development Corp.

The Lee County Economic Development Corporation (EDC), is a nonprofit organization, working to attract, retain, and facilitate the expansion of high quality businesses and create local job opportunities through sound planning for infrastructure improvements to maximize potential for industrial and residential growth. The EDC also administers the Committee of 100, a support organization of business leaders committing time, energy and resources to enhance the economic well-being of Lee County and its citizens. Corporate and individual members assist the Lee County Economic Development Corp. by establishing venture capital projects to expand local industry, helping to promote economic growth and enhancing working relationships among government, business and the community. In addition, the EDC is an excellent resource for local demographic information for market analysis purposes and offers comparisons to other parts of the state and region.

Recognizing the importance that downtown plays in the role of economic development for the county as a whole, the EDC is heavily involved with Downtown Sanford, Inc. (DSI), with the director of the EDC sitting as a representative on the DSI Board. For more information on the Lee County EDC, click on the link below.
