Shining a"Spotlight on EDOs"

SelectUSA has started a new blog post series featuring the voices of various economic development organizations (EDOs) across the United States: Spotlight on EDOs. This guest-authored series tells the story of foreign direct investment (FDI) from the perspective of local communities revitalized by job-creating investment.  

EDOs play a critical role in making investment happen. Each author has a different story, collaborative approach, and path to attracting investment. Last week, we heard from JobsOhio on how FDI has helped revive the town of Moraine, OH. Today, Global Delaware explains why international companies should look at the First State with new eyes. And we have many more stories in the pipeline!

We hope that you are excited about this new series as we are.
