The Haines City EDC was formed as a 501C-6 not-for-profit organization. Since 2002 we have worked in a continual process of making Haines City more economically sound and have forged partnerships that help us meet the challenges. We know that challenges bring out the best in people. We seek investment from a diversity of sectors, including industry, communities, education, finance, agriculture, investment, government, and public interest groups.

The EDC is involved with grants and incentives to assist with financing for our local partners that are designed to help with training programs for our existing and expanding companies. The EDC has expanded the board of directors and modernized the by-laws of the corporation. We have recognized and honored local supporters, city government, initial directors, city officials and area partners to establish goals and set priorities.
