Our Mission
 To help build a stronger, thriving and self-supporting economy for St. Charles
 County through investment, job growth and retention.
As a public-private initiative established in 1990 to serve as the lead economic development organization for all of St. Charles County, the Economic Development Center (EDC) has earned a reputation for being "the business growth experts" working in partnership with local government, community and business leaders, and other regional organizations.
 
Over the years, the impact of the EDC has been shown through successful business financing programs, job creation, small business incubation, business recruitment and retention, and award-winning marketing efforts.
 
Recognizing that economic development is a team effort involving many different players throughout the process of recruiting and/or retaining local companies, the EDC is proud to play an important role in helping grow new jobs and expand the tax base in St. Charles County.
 
At the EDC, "Growing Your Business is Our Business!".
