She discussed her satisfaction with the organization's performance.

Every business needs a personal visit!

The Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation utilizes three ways to three ways of facilitating the creation of jobs and capital investment within the Chippewa Valley. First, working to help in the creation of new firms (entrepreneurial development like our HATCH and Pitching events). Second, attraction of external firms to our area (business recruitment like the Fleet Farm Distribution Center) is used by CCEDC.

Meet ABECS Global

ABECS GLOBAL When ABECS Global was founded in 2016 by Ms. Jane Eagen, they never thought they'd be looking for a new location within a few short years.
