Now in its fourth year of operation, the DPP team partners with organizations throughout Delaware to make a difference for the state by supporting job growth and investment. Economic Development Week was created by the International Economic Development Council in 2016 to increase awareness of local programs that create jobs, advance career development and improve quality of life in communities across North America. Economic Development Week campaigns have taken place in all 50 American states, and more than 450 observances have been held throughout the United States and Canada over the last five years.
