Racine County, WI – On a quarterly basis, the Racine County Economic Development Corporation (RCEDC) Leadership Council meets to review RCEDC’s progress on its Annual Strategic Plan and receive and discuss economic development information.

In addition to reviewing the financial health of the organization, RCEDC staff and leadership are provided the opportunity to evaluate their strategic plan, progress towards annual goals, and overall direction of the organization.

One primary activity of RCEDC is to facilitate business expansion projects in Racine County. To remain informed and engaged in this activity, RCEDC hosted its annual industrial development panel on April 11, 2023, which was open to the public.
