Your involvement as a stakeholder in the Strategic Plan helped develop a consensus around seven (7) goals to ensure higher standards of living for all residents of LA County.

 

Building the Brand for Countywide Economic Development

As its own entity and driving force behind many of the strategic initiatives of the LAEDC, we’ll also unveil the new branding and identity of the Strategic Plan.
