The International Economic Development Council recently announced the city of Mesa’s office of economic development has once again been recognized as one of 75 economic development organizations accredited by IEDC as an Accredited Economic Development Organization.
Originally accredited in August 2017, the organization was reaccredited by IEDC following six successful years of activity as an AEDO member, according to a release.
“This recognition of our Office of Economic Development is a tribute to the innovation, persistence and professionalism of the staff in bringing new development and jobs to Mesa,” City Manager Chris Brady said in the release.
The AEDO program is a comprehensive peer review process that measures economic development organizations against commonly held standards in the profession. The program consists of two phases: a documentation review and an onsite visit. Each phase is designed to evaluate information about the structure, organization, funding, program and staff of the candidate economic development organization.
