Why Invest in the LaGrange County Economic Development Corporation
Investing in the LaGrange County Economic Development Corporation (LCEDC) means investing in the long-term success and vitality of LaGrange County. As the county’s lead organization for economic and community development, LCEDC works at every level of the local economy—supporting existing businesses, fostering entrepreneurship, and advancing initiatives that make LaGrange County a better place to live, work, and do business.
LCEDC is deeply committed to supporting the businesses that already call LaGrange County home. Through our Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) efforts, we maintain strong relationships with local employers, helping them navigate challenges, identify growth opportunities, and stay connected to resources. At the same time, we are building the future of our economy through projects like the LaGrange County Innovation Center—a hub designed to support entrepreneurs, small businesses, remote workers, and growing companies with access to space, resources, and programming that currently do not exist in our community.
Our work extends beyond business development. LCEDC plays a key role in advancing community-driven initiatives like LaGrange County Together and Connect LaGrange County, ensuring that growth is intentional and aligned with local priorities. From housing and childcare to infrastructure and quality of place, we are actively working to remove barriers to workforce participation and create a community where people and businesses can thrive.
We also invest in people. Through programs like Leadership LaGrange County, we are building a strong pipeline of local leaders who are equipped to guide our community forward. By developing talent, supporting civic engagement, and creating opportunities for involvement, we are strengthening the foundation that sustainable economic growth depends on.
When you invest in LCEDC, you are not just supporting a single project—you are fueling a coordinated, strategic effort to grow LaGrange County’s economy, strengthen its workforce, and enhance its quality of life for years to come.
