The North Central Washington Economic Development District (NCWEDD) is a federally designated economic development district for the NCW region covering Okanogan, Douglas, and Chelan counties and the Colville Confederate Tribes. The NCWEDD is responsible for regional economic development strategy and planning and collaborates with various private and public agencies to accomplish this goal. The NCWEDD brings together the private and public sectors in a partnership necessary to provide a coordinated strategy and an ongoing economic development program for the region.
In 2015, NCWEDD was awarded two federal grants from the US Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration totaling $160,875 to enhance the stability and future of the North Central Washington region in the aftermath of the deadly wildfires of 2014-15. The first was a Partnership Planning Grant, which will help support NCWEDD's implementation of its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The second grant is an Economic Adjustment Assistance grant focused on long-term economic resiliency in the areas of Okanogan County that were impacted by the Carlton Complex Fire in 2014.
