There are a lot of people worried about their businesses right now. This pandemic is new territory for everybody, and at AEDC we are going to continue to do whatever we can to see businesses survive this trying time. We are currently working on contacting all of our clients to see how they’re doing. Their continued success is our priority and we don’t want to be the cause of additional stress right now. AEDC has tools in our quiver, including offering deferments to ease their immediate financial burden, if needed. Our mission is to provide support to businesses for the purpose of supporting the economic health of our community.

AEDC is working closely with other economic development organizations as an active member of the COVID Economic Resilience Committee (CERC). This group is coordinating daily to provide information, resources and services needed to best support North Coast local businesses and employers through the COVID 19 pandemic. Information gathered will be updated and shared regularly at this site, hosted by the Northcoast SBDC.
