MONROE — Green County Development Corporation (GCDC) is proud to announce its participation in the 2025 Economic Development Week, a global initiative led by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).
“The future of economic development is centered around colaboration and partnerships,” said IEDC president and CEO Nathan Ohle. “Economic Development Week is an opportunity to celebrate and lift up the stories of economic development happening throughout the world.
At the heart of this year’s Economic Development Week are stories of collaboration and partnership, and how the field of economic development works together to support, cultivate, and drive economic prosperity for place of all sizes, in every region in the world.” The IEDC created Economic Development Week in 2016 to recognize the work that EDOs and professionals do in their communities.
IEDC celebrates Economic Development Week every year, highlighting the programs, best practices, and exceptional individuals that positively impact life in their communities. In just a few years the event has become one of the most widely recognized awareness weeks of its kind, validating the — often unheralded — work of the economic development profession. “Economic Development Week gives us a reason to reflect on our collective achievements and to plan for a future of sustainable growth,” said Olivia Otte, Executive Director of GCDC. “Throughout the week, we will share insights into the work of GCDC on our social platforms. We invite our businesses, community leaders, and the public to join us in celebrating, as the work we do is not done alone. We are always eager to engage in meaningful discussions about the economic future of our community and improve the quality of life in Green County.”
