Iron Mountain– The Dickinson Area Economic Development Alliance announces its participation in the 2025 Economic Development Week, a global initiative led by the International Economic Development Council to celebrate the contributions of positive economic development in our area over the past year.

“Economic Development Week is a time to reflect on our collective achievements and to plan for a future of sustainable growth,” said Mindy Meyers, executive director of the Dickinson Area Economic Development Alliance. “This year, we will be reintroducing The Alliance and our task force groups as well as taking a look back and ahead at economic activities in our region on our social media pages to raise awareness of the investments being made in our community.”

The IEDC created Economic Development Week in 2016 to recognize the work that economic development organizations and professionals do in their communities.

IEDC celebrates Economic Development Week every year, highlighting the programs, best practices, and exceptional individuals that positively impact life in their communities. In just a few years, the event has become one of the most widely recognized awareness weeks of its kind, validating the often unheralded work of the economic development profession.
