ABOUT US
GCEDC was formed when the need for a professionally organized economic development operation was recognized. Purdue University initially helped to fund GCEDC; with support from the county, GCEDC incorporated in 1989. GCEDC became the agency responsible for initiating economic development activities on behalf of Greene County. GCEDC is a private, not-for-profit organization run by a thirteen-member board of directors.
