Ravalli County Economic Development Authority (RCEDA) is a Port Authority with 501 (c) (3) tax status. Created by the Ravalli County Commissioners in 1997, RCEDA is governed by seven Commissioners appointed by the County Commissioners.
RCEDA is funded in large part through the Ravalli County General Fund. Recently this funding has been augmented by a grant from the City of Hamilton as well as private sector participants.
This funding has allowed the organization to mature and demonstrate the meaning and work of economic development through action and accomplishments.
The RCEDA will, either alone or in cooperation with others, enhance the Bitterroot Valley by securing funding for programs and facilities development from public and private sources.
RCEDA will support growth of existing companies and nurture new company formation, operate business incubation and entrepreneurial support services. RCEDA will work to expand early-stage business capital resources for young companies, and help to create the infrastructure for a “knowledge-based community”.
