No organization stands alone. EDC forges relationships and works collaboratively with many local – and national – economic development agencies. Here’s a brief listing of our partners:

Center for Economic Growth (CEG)
CEG is focused on New York’s Capital Region, facilitating efforts to attract high-tech talent and companies, and to provide innovative services to bolster local businesses.

City of Glens Falls Industrial Development Agency (IDA)
The Glens Falls IDA assists companies with tax exempt financing for capital projects.

Counties of Warren/Washington Industrial Development Agency (WWIDA)
This entity is authorized to issue both tax exempt and taxable industrial development bonds for projects involving manufacturing, commercial and civic facilities.

Hudson River Local Development Corporation (HRLDC)

EDC works closely with the organization on such important initiatives, including the Queensbury Industrial Park.

National Development Council (NDC)
The NDC is in place to increase the flow of capital for investment, jobs, and community development in under-served urban and rural areas across the country.
