Why REGIONAL Development?

  • In 1994, Verde Valley citizens formed the Verde Valley Regional Economic Development Council (VVREDC) to:
  • Coordinate economic development efforts in the Valley
  • Generate resources to meet economic needs
  • Support sensible and sustainable business growth
  • Create strategies to serve not one community, but all in concert
  • A public-private partnership supported by public and private enterprise
"Regionally, VVREDC performs an important function in fostering cooperation and coordination among our Verde Valley communities. VVREDC cultivates state and federal resources to assist development in the Verde Valley ."
