Volusia County Economic Development

Volusia County Economic Development (VCED) is the County’s division designated to grow the local economy. Economic growth occurs through new business creation, business recruitment, and business retention and expansion (BRE). VCED positions Volusia County for economic success by leading, partnering, and/or contracting with County and municipal staffs and public/private sector stakeholders. Sharing a common vision, but typically operating in silos on a day-to-day basis, Volusia’s economic development practitioners unite through VCED, multiplying operational efficiency of each organization, to better respond to local business needs. During the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, this proved most beneficial. We provided one voice and one direction to assist our struggling business community. Focused on business retention and expansion (BR & E), the team works with all businesses from start-up through multi-million dollar corporations providing business concierge-style services to assist in their success. While BR & E is the focus, We partner with Team Volusia, the CEO Business Alliance and practitioners in the recruitment of new business investment to our community.
