One of the goals of the North Port EDC is to inspire people like you to become engaged in the economic future of our city in as many ways as you can.  By reading this newsletter, you are helping to support this goal as it is designed to be both informative and participatory.

We are enthusiastically moving forward and we welcome your participation. Please consider investing in the North Port EDC as just one of the ways we can partner in the economic future of North Port.

While the government is responsible for economic development, it is the private sector that makes economic development happen, and the North Port EDC will focus its efforts on working with both the public, civic, and private sectors to create economic engines and catalysts for economic development. 

 

The North Port Economic Development Corporation is privately funded.
