Region 9 is here to help you and your business succeed. Proudly serving and improving economic conditions in SW Colorado
关于我们
Region 9 Economic Development District serves the counties of Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan, and the cities and towns within those regions, as well as the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and the Ute Mountain Ute Indian Tribe.
Our mission is to be a regional leader, working cooperatively with the private and public sectors to enhance the economic conditions in the area, and improve the region's economic prosperity.
Among our many services, Region 9 EDD offers a revolving loan program for "gap" financing to assist small business retention, expansion and job creation. We also offer a micro-enterprise loan program for loans up to $100,000 for qualifying small businesses with five or fewer employees.
In addition to our loan programs, Region 9 EDD administers the Colorado Enterprise Zone Tax Credit program, publishes the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) to assist local communities with regional economic development strategic planning and technical assistance and helps to administer different State and Federal programs.
Region 9 EDD often partners with community organizations, governments and the private sector to assist in the development of special projects that result in job creation/retention and the economic expansion of the community or enterprise.

We have released our 2024 livable wage data! A livable wage is defined as the level of income necessary to meet basic needs without public assistance. When people earn less than a livable wage, they may have to work multiple jobs, longer hours, or make difficult choices to cover the costs of basic needs like food, housing, transportation, and healthcare. Costs for quality childcare and housing continue to strain family budgets across the region. The document is now on Region 9 EDD’s website and can be accessed at https://lnkd.in/gh8sXSNv
