GREENE COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Greene County Economic Development Corporation (GCEDC) was established in response to the growing need for a professionally organized approach to economic development in Greene County. With initial funding support from Purdue University and the backing of county leadership, GCEDC was officially incorporated in 1989.
Since then, GCEDC has served as the lead agency for economic development in Greene County, working to attract investment, support local businesses, and foster sustainable growth. The organization operates as a private, not-for-profit corporation governed by a thirteen-member board of directors representing a cross-section of the community.
