The JCEDO offers a central resource for any business expansion or relocation project, including assistance with:

The JCEDO staff also markets the region to a worldwide audience; actively pursues companies, professionals and resources whose presence in Jasper County would enhance the competitiveness of area businesses or strengthen the regional economy. During and following an expansion or location project, qualified businesses receive ongoing support through a complete introduction to the business community.

The JCEDO links qualified small-to-medium-sized businesses to one another, as well as to a network of state and local technical resources. These links provide inter-firm learning and networking opportunities that are offered to all levels of an organization and are "delivered" on-site at area businesses or through off-site groups.

One of the great strengths of the Jasper County economy is the work ethic and training of our workforce. The JCEDO provides a crucial link between business and education to help ensure that our workforce is prepared to meet the growing need for skilled workers by our growing business community.
