Economic Development
Supporting a strong, resilient economy is why we’re here.
TEDD knows that the surest way to a thriving local economy is to provide the resources local businesses need to prosper and grow. We work with local businesses, communities, and other organizations in Ferry, Pend Oreille, and Stevens counties to help develop a stable and diverse economy.
NEW RTPO & Regional Mobility
A good transportation system is essential to quality of life and economic vitality.
The Northeast Washington Regional Transportation Planning Organization (NEW RTPO) works with member jurisdictions and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to help plan and assist in the development of transportation systems that meet the area’s growing transportation needs.
The Rural Opportunities Loan Fund
We offer a local, revolving loan fund that is deeply passionate about creating jobs and assisting rural businesses and startups. We can help.
The Rural Opportunities Loan Fund helps to finance business expansion, retention and start-up projects for borrowers who do not qualify for traditional loans. We consider your potential, not just your past.
