regional economic development organizations

Regional economic development organizations (REDOs) are entities that work to improve the economic health of specific geographic areas. They collaborate with local businesses, government agencies, and community groups to attract investment, create jobs, support businesses, and enhance infrastructure. By focusing on regional strengths and opportunities, REDOs help foster sustainable growth, diversify the economy, and improve quality of life for residents. Their efforts often include planning, marketing, workforce development, and policy advocacy, aiming to make their regions more competitive and resilient in the broader economy.
