Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission

Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission

The Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission (EDC) is a not-for-profit, private/public partnership. The EDC serves Orange, Seminole, Lake and Osceola counties and the City of Orlando in Florida.

Since its start in 1977, the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission, with the support of its community partners, has assisted thousands of companies relocate, expand and grow in the four-county Metro Orlando (Florida) region. This has led to the creation of more than 164,000 jobs; over $8.85 billion in capital investment; and almost 77,000,000 square feet (7,200,000 m2) of office and industrial space leased or constructed.[1]

Companies the EDC has worked with include:

Rick L. Weddle serves as the President & CEO of the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission.

The EDC is also home to the Metro Orlando Film & Entertainment Commission. More than 2,000 film and television production projects have been filmed in the region during the past 10 years.[4]
