About Us
San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation
We’re San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation.
We know that’s a mouthful, so you can call us EDC for short. Some other acceptable names to call us:
- San Diego Regional EDC
- SDREDC
- EDC (we recommend not using this on the first reference to avoid confusion)
We’re proud of our regional focus, so please don’t call us San Diego EDC, SDEDC, or any variation that drops regional for our name.
