OUR MISSION...
The Piscataquis County Economic Development Council (PCEDC) seeks to leverage local, county, regional, and state resources to promote and encourage private and public investment within Piscataquis County, Maine. The goal is to stimulate long-term sustainable economic development and growth in the region.

Our Board of Directors is diverse and has members from both the public and private sectors.
