EDEN'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The biggest job engine in the world is in renewable energy and energy efficiency, especially assembly and manufacturing.
EDEN is working with different departments at the State of Delaware and the University of Delaware to create business solutions to environmental and economic challenges that will bring more manufacturers to Delaware. These companies are attracted to Delaware’s business friendly regulations and skilled workers.
Using Delaware skilled workers, these out-of-state companies will multiply jobs in Delaware when they arrive.
EDEN participates in economic development opportunities as they arise, through our efforts to recruit and retain small businesses for our region. The EDEN team catalyzes advice and facilitation for companies and entrepreneurs who bring jobs and innovative technology for the promotion of the Green Circle in the market place.
Currently EDEN is working with a major Delaware utility, the University of Delaware and the poultry industry to explore ways to reduce farmers’ costs for raising chickens through a variety of technology changes. These changes will create opportunities for manufacturers of lighting systems, manufacturers of generation systems, and the construction and design companies that support these energy sectors. This work is currently in development. Check back for periodic updates on these activities.
