Economic Development Partners
Helping you attract, grow and retain businesses
Workforce issues are a tremendous barrier in the ability to retain, grow and attract businesses. Fortunately, the Peninsula Council For Workforce Development works closely with all of the Peninsula-based Economic Development Authorities in helping businesses with all of their workforce needs.
If you are a business searching for expansion sites, we invite you to contact any of these Authorities for Incentive and Assistance information. Please feel free to contact the Council Staff for Workforce Development information. Peninsula Employment Statistics and Trends are also available on this site. A member of our staff will be pleased to assist you with any future workforce development needs.
