COVID-19 Resources from EDRP
Once COVID-19 made it to U.S. shores, it wasn’t long before the economy, and much of daily life, essentially shut down. In 2020, U.S. economic developers found themselves facing the challenge of a lifetime. How did leading EDOs meet the challenges COVID-19 brings to their businesses, communities, and organizations? The International Economic Development Council's Economic Development Research Partners (EDRP) program provides top-level economic developers the opportunity to support and direct cutting-edge research that advances the economic development profession as a whole. In response to COVID-19, EDRP released a series of briefs on different issues economic developers are facing, featuring responses from EDRP members. Download the 2020 EDRP COVID-19 briefs by clicking on the links below. For more EDRP briefs and information on the program, visit the EDRP resources page on RestoreYourEconomy.
