Driving Economic Growth in Deerfield Beach
Your Partner in Community Prosperity
Empowering Deerfield Beach’s economic landscape, the EDC collaborates with public and private sectors to nurture businesses, encourage development, and promote a vibrant, sustainable community.
Our Mission
In the summer of 2016, the City of Deerfield Beach adopted the “City-wide Economic Development Strategy and Recommendations” with the goal of “the formulation of an Economic Development Council (EDC) that will provide the leadership role for the ongoing implementation of the City-wide Economic Development Strategy.” Today, the Economic Development Council is a public-private partnership providing businesses a voice in Deerfield Beach.
Working collaboratively with Broward County, The Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, the City of Deerfield Beach, regional municipalities, industry trade associations and other like-minded nonprofit organizations, the EDC does more than recruit new business to Deerfield Beach. It ensures that Deerfield Beach businesses have access to local, county and state programs to stay and prosper in Deerfield Beach.
