About
WNDD~ a Designated Economic Development District (EDD)
Our goal is to work in regional collaboration with public and private entities to create an environment within which economic development can occur.
WNDD was officially designated by the US Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration as an Economic Development District (EDD) in 1984. It is one of only two within the State of Nevada.
WNDD works to create an environment that is prepared welcomes new businesses, industries, and workforce to the region to promote a vibrant, and sustainable economy.
WNDD’s cornerstone is the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).
The CEDS is a locally based, regionally driven economic development planning process and document that successfully engages the region’s community leaders, private sector partners, and stakeholders. This framework enables the region and its partners to strengthen their leverage and expand regional capacity to attract outside resources to build a sustainable and resilient economy. The result creates an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen the regional economy and to qualify the region for additional funding assistance from the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce (EDA) and other federal agencies.
