EDC-VC: For Your Life's Work
With a sharp focus on the attraction, retention and expansion of businesses in Ventura County, the Economic Development Collaborative-Ventura County (EDC-VC) works to maintain the county’s economic health and vitality.
A regional public/private economic development organization, the EDC-VC delivers programs that promote jobs and economic growth, and raise overall productivity and incomes.
When businesses thrive, our community thrives.
As a true collaborative voice of Ventura County, the EDC-VC is funded through contributions from the County of Ventura, nine cities in the county and top-level private sector executives.
The EDC-VC Revolving Loan Fund Programs and the Business Enhancement Program have been responsible for the creation and retention of more than 1500 jobs since 2001.
A conservative estimate shows the economic impact of the jobs created and saved from 2001 - 2006 to be more than $177 million for Ventura County.
