Tridec - Tri-City Development Council

The Tri-City Development Council, or TRIDEC, is the lead economic development organization for Benton and Franklin counties. TRIDEC works to sustain the Tri-Cities as a globally competitive, technology-driven economy that provides prosperity and opportunity for our region's residents, businesses, entrepreneurs, and communities through collaborative works. TRIDEC is a 501c6 nonprofit business organization supported by generous contributions from its member investors. TRIDEC competes with many other economic development organizations throughout the United States for businesses to choose the Tri-Cities as their relocation or expansion destination. Our ability to provide detailed informational packages, site tours of the region, and presentations to corporations and site selectors rests on the generous support of our civic partners, member investors, and community partners. TRIDEC is governed by a 39-person board of directors that establishes organizational policy. The board is comprised of representatives from local communities, private sector leaders, and other organizations committed to creating and supporting jobs in our region.
