The Greater Yuma area continues to be a land of opportunity and potential.  The qualities that made our area attractive to industry in the past still exist today: weather, workforce, transportation, proximity to Mexico, military, agriculture, and a business friendly environment.  The “dim-ness” of today is only caused by the current economic situation of the country.  The future remains bright as we work through this dim spot, and Greater Yuma EDC is more committed than ever to champion the future.

Greater Yuma EDC is an organization of all the Greater Yuma communities as well as 120 private investors.  The sole goal of the organization is to provide to new, relocating and expanding companies the resources to understand that the Greater Yuma area is the right choice for their businesses; that this area provides the best opportunity for success for growing companies.

We have developed a comprehensive strategic plan with a strong look to the future while respecting the past.  Our plan is flexible enough to mirror current industry trends and provide alliances with existing industries to meet the needs and wants of expanding industry.

As Chairman of the Board, I represent the investors of Greater Yuma EDC.  These investors are community and business leaders who seek to promote the economic wellbeing of this area.  We know that a healthy Yuma economy benefits everyone – communities, businesses and individuals.

If you want to know more about the opportunities the Greater Yuma area has to offer, contact our CEO, Julie Engel.  Julie and her staff will demonstrate how your company and the Greater Yuma area can build a successful relationship.
