The strength of any community is measured in the energy, enthusiasm and interest that residents and business owners take in helping it grow. The Platte County Economic Development Council (PCEDC) is a testament to the depth of this community support.
Platte County is rich with people who love where they live and work—people who are willing to invest both time and money to see their county thrive. In return, they’ve been able to write their own success stories, by building strong, viable companies and a secure, comfortable way of life in the county they call home.
The PCEDC has encouraged those success stories for over 20 years and is continuing to do so today.
