The California Central Valley Economic
Development Corporation (CCVEDC) was formed
in the late 1980’s by the professional Economic
Development organizations serving the eight
counties of California’s Central Valley. Together
with their partners, they have cooperated and
collaborated to present the Central Valley
as a highly desirable location for expanding
companies seeking the advantages of a rapidly
growing and resource rich environment.
Today the CCVEDC still works to assist individuals
and organizations with their search for potential

to direct the user to specific areas for up-to-date
information and contacts.
