关于我们
The Grant County EDC helps bring new employers to Grant County that create jobs for local residents, provide a stable tax base, and make us less vulnerable to economic declines. Since 1998 the Grant County EDC has recruited 17 companies that provide over 2,500 jobs for the residents of our local communities. On average, these new jobs pay roughly $50,000 a year, much more than the county average wage of $32,500. The EDC has also provided assistance to an additional 15 companies already located in the community. These companies provide over 2,250 jobs for local residents. Combine all these jobs plus the indirect jobs they create and it adds up to over 8,000 people employed. These jobs are making a real difference in the local economy by providing stable employment, great wages, and increased spending at local retail and service businesses.

What an honor it was to tour the new Samaritan Hospital this past Friday in Moses Lake. Led by Samaritan Healthcare’s CEO, Theresa Sullivan, MBA, FACHE, and leaders of Graham Construction, it wasn’t too early to see the materializing vision of exceptional local healthcare for our region. Featuring an expanded emergency department, increased surgical capacity, and improved access to ancillary services like laboratory and imaging, the new hospital will also host inpatient rooms with increased privacy and space for families, a separate corridor for movement of staff and supplies, and a new mother and baby unit with an advanced nursery. Wow. Just. Wow! Thank you so much for the invitation, Samaritan Healthcare, and thank you for bringing this level of hope and promise to our region! Bravo! You can survey the progress of this new hospital by going to Samaritan’s daily photo updates: https://lnkd.in/gD36r4NQ #GrantCountyWa #GrantEDC #BuildCommunity
