Thurston Economic Development Council
About
The mission of the Thurston EDC is to create a dynamic and sustainable economy that serves and supports the values and people who live and work in Thurston County. We support strong and engaged community development in all parts of Thurston County. We work to retain and support the businesses and entrepreneurs of our region, work to expand opportunities within the start-up phase all the way through growth phases of businesses, and to recruit new investment into the region. The EDC is home to, and provides the backbone support to several other name-plate efforts — and within the EDC you will find our Center for Business & Innovation, Washington Center for Women In Business, and the Washington State Procurement Technical Assistance Center (for government contracting), and the Lacey MakerSpace. The professional team of the Thurston ED works to ensure that all clients, entrepreneurs, non-profit leaders, community leaders, and business leaders have access to the resources of a multi-faceted economic development organization.
