Siskiyou Economic Development

Building a Stronger Region with Siskiyou Economic Development Council. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend the SEDC Quarterly Board Meeting at Rain Rock Casino in Yreka. The agenda was packed with critical discussions on regional economic development. I truly enjoyed learning more about Siskiyou EDC’s programs and connecting with their incredible staff. Their work is a shining example of what great economic development can look like when talented professionals come together under the leadership of an excellent leader. Kudos to Tonya Dowse for developing a great organization. Looking ahead, I’m excited to see how we continue to drive innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth across the region. #SCEDdistrict #SCED #EconomicDevelopment #Leadership #CommunityGrowth
