EDC is working to address the regulatory challenges that slow down business growth across our region. EDC’s 2024 Manufacturing Study found that local companies continue to face delays, duplicative steps, and outdated permitting systems. To help shape smarter, more efficient policies at the local, state, and federal levels, we invite businesses to share their experiences in a short survey.
