About the PCEDC

"Business and Nature Working Together for the Benefit of Both."  

The Pacific County Economic Development Council is a private non-profit organization that works in part with Washington State Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development, three ports, PUD No. 2, Pacific Transit System and private business. 

Pacific County is bordered by the Columbia River, the Pacific Ocean and the pristine Willapa Bay.  We have identified six major cluster industries:  Forest Resources, Agriculture, Retail/Tourism, Marine Aqua/Fishing, Technology, and Healthcare/Retirement.  We are working with these clusters to map assets, develop projects and create strategic plans for value-added businesses and product development.  Our four municipalities, four ports, and county governments believe in developing and supporting a strong community and economic infrastructure that sustains our existing businesses while encouraging entrepreneurial business start ups.  The PCEDC's vision is to create jobs, raise the median income while maintaining the distinctive northwest lifestyle.  Our public and private partners share the goal of becoming a self-sustaining county within the natural resources venue while optimizing our business environment.
