Economic Development Corporation

Purpose

The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) was commissioned as a separate non-profit entity in the 1980's to serve as guidance for furthering economic development in the City of White Bear Lake.  The EDC had a time period of inactivity, and it was not until 2011 when the City determined it should be re-commissioned.

Since 2011, The EDC has been serving its purpose in furthering economic development; assisting and promoting growth, expansion, and development of business concerns.  The EDC contributes to the economic well-being of the area as measured through increases in employment, payroll, business volume, and corresponding factors rather than monetary profits to the members of the corporation.

Mission Statement

• Champion the economic development, stabilization and transition to future trends for White Bear Lake
   
• Coordinate private industry and commerce, local government and community needs in order to develop a vibrant economy that enhances community well-being, stability, and services.
