Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition
The Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition would like to inform the public that the CCEDC is not affiliated with the Indivisible Copper Corridor group nor does the group provide any support to the grassroots efforts of Indivisible Copper Corridor. The CCEDC is a local 501c6 organization focussed on economic and community development for the Copper Corridor region. Most recently the CCEDC has been focussed on tourism development, housing and the study of the creation of a regional food hub.
“The mission of the CCEDC is to increase non-mining employment and protect our rural quality of life. We most definitely support everyone’s right to activism in their community or region but this is not an activity that the CCEDC would be involved in or support,” explained Mila Besich-Lira, Executive Director for the CCEDC.
The CCEDC received several concerned comments from residents in the region.
“We want to assure our stakeholders, residents and supporters that we are not participating in the activities of the Indivisible Copper Corridor group,” Besich-Lira said.
The CCEDC meets the third Friday of every month at the CAC-Aravaipa Campus at 8:30 a.m. Their next meeting is schedule for April 21, 2017. The guest speaker is Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb. The meeting is open to the public.
