Shasta EDC is the result of private/public collaboration initiated by the Economic Development Corporation in 1995 that culminated in the formation of an aggressive job creation business plan*.
The plan was developed by a coalition of over 100 private sector businesses and community leaders that asked the EDC to focus its
efforts in five main areas:
- Business Development
- Expansion and Retention of existing industry
- External Media Relations
- Special Projects
- Workforce Development
The Shasta EDC Investors Directory (HTML) (PDF) lists prominent area businesses and organizations who provide support with investment dollars, along with the cities of Anderson, Redding and Shasta Lake, and the County of Shasta.
EDC Vision Statement for Shasta County
Shasta County is and will continue to be the “leader” and “preferred location” in the Upstate Region of California and will strengthen its position as the center of trade and commerce by expanding its primary industry base to provide more wealth, higher wages and quality employment opportunities to assure ample opportunity for the younger generation, while leveraging its key assets in medical services, education, culture and lifestyle.
Goals and Objectives
