MCEDD Newsletter Archive

In an effort to help keep you informed of regional events related to economic development,

we send out an electronic newsletter the first week of each month. The newsletter includes news

from across our five-county district.

You are welcome to send us your economic development news, including activities, events and

other related items in the five county area by the third week of each month. 

Please feel free to pass along this newsletter to anyone who may be interested in

regional economic development news in the Mid-Columbia area.
