Paid for by Boone County Economic Development
What do job growth, charming main streets, and a healthy local economy have in common? Spoiler alert: Boone EDC is somewhere behind the curtain, pulling levers and making magic happen.
At the Boone County Economic Development Corporation (Boone EDC), we work behind the scenes (and sometimes in steel-toe boots) to make Boone County not just a place to live, but the place to flourish. Whether you’re a big-time employer, a startup dreamer, or someone who just really loves clean parks and cool downtowns, our work touches your life more than you might think.
How, you ask? For starters, we help attract and retain businesses that create jobs and reinvest in the community. That new favorite local coffee shop? We may have helped secure a microloan to get it off the ground. The expanding factory offering 150 new jobs? Yep, we likely helped them navigate the site selection, workforce connections and incentives maze.
But we’re not just about business. We believe economic development is a full-body sport – it’s jobs and child care access. It’s workforce training and public art. It’s housing options and vibrant community events. Our programs like 180 in Color, strategic planning with local leaders, and small-business support all aim to make Boone County not only economically sound but also wildly livable.
Boone EDC is your community’s hype team, headhunter, matchmaker and support squad all rolled into one. Whether you’re a resident, entrepreneur or somewhere in between, we’re working every day to raise the bar (and maybe a barn or two).
