Economic Development Council | Helping islands businesses to thrive

We are hosting several online presentations, discussions, and other events. Links to recordings are available here:

  • Chat ‘n’ Chew: “We envisioned a lighthearted meeting where our small business owners could talk frankly about the challenges they are facing right now, while sharing a meal. Even if it’s a virtual mealtime, sharing ideas and support together will help us all get through this difficult period.”
  • Business Recovery (Spring/Summer 2020): A weekly Business Recovery Call for business owners affected by COVID-19 implications.
  • Business Recovery (Winter 2021): A weekly Business Recovery Call for business owners affected by COVID-19 implications.
  • Community Forum: Each month, the EDC Community Forum will cover different topics of interest to residents of the islands, and allow for conversation with elected officials, local health and social experts and community leaders.
  • Makerspace System: Organizing the community to create a system of makerspaces that works across our islands geography.
  • Trades talks: Considering a new career? We are starting a new series of talks about entering the skilled trades.
