American Economic Development Council

The American Economic Development Council (AEDC) was an organization focused on promoting economic growth and development across the United States. It provided resources, training, and advocacy for professionals involved in regional economic planning, industrial development, and community revitalization. By connecting economic developers, AEDC aimed to share best practices, influence policies, and foster collaborations that encourage job creation, infrastructure improvement, and sustainable growth in local and national economies. Although the organization has since evolved or merged into other entities, its core mission was to support strategies that enhance economic well-being nationwide.
