EDC Monthly Report – December 2020
A note from our CEO:
This year was unlike anything anyone could have predicted. Our communities grappled with unimaginable loss brought on by COVID-19, a social and racial justice reckoning, an ever-contentious political landscape, and so much more. And yet, here we are—turning the page into the New Year, still with the same problems of 2020, but with greater resilience, forward thinking, and commitment to inclusion. With and through our nearly 200 investors, EDC worked directly with nearly 500 San Diego businesses through crisis and recovery. Learn about this work and more in our Top 20 in 2020, and read on below for our month in review.
