The future strength of the Door County Peninsula economy is highly dependent upon the success and growth of businesses that already exist in Door County. The Door County Economic Development Corporation works with existing businesses on an ongoing basis to determine the health and strength of the local economy. DCEDC staff and volunteer members of our Business Retention committee work to make local companies stronger by identifying and helping address their business needs.

DCEDC staff and volunteers regularly meet with area business owners and leaders to discuss a number of important topics:

• Address issues with local government
• Identify resources that foster business success
• Refer information to appropriate policy makers
• Uncover trends affecting local business conditions

For more information about DCEDC Business Retention efforts, or to volunteer, contact Sam Perlman, Economic Development Manager.
