IIUSA Executive Director, Aaron Grau, Moderators Local Economic Development Roundtable at the IIUSA EB-5 Industry Forum in Seattle, WA
Earlier this year, IIUSA launched the Economic Development Organization (EDO) Strategic Ally Program with the goal of improving EDO’s understanding of EB-5 investments and Regional Centers’ roles and to bolster IIUSA’s already strong voice in regional and national advocacy.
Last month, during the EB-5 Industry Forum in Seattle, WA IIUSA featured a panel focused on local economic development in the greater Seattle area. We were honored to welcome representatives from the Seattle Office of Economic Development, Greater Seattle Partners, Economic Alliance of Snohomish County and the Port Of Bellingham to participate as speakers. Their insights were invaluable for attendees and showcased the important role that Economic Development Organizations play in local, regional and national development.
After the event, we were pleased to welcome all four organizations on board as our first Strategic Allies. We look forward to working with these groups as well as new EDO Allies in the year ahead!
