Eagle River, WI., October 27, 2021 . . . The Vilas County Economic Development Corporation (VCEDC) today announced the kick-off of its Annual Fundraising Campaign.  Established in 2010, the VCEDC is a registered non-profit 501c3 with a mission to sustain current business and foster economic growth through its leadership on broadband and by attracting expanding businesses, entrepreneurs and remote workers.  The fundraising campaign will be held from October 27 through December 31, 2021.  

According to VCEDC Board Chairman Jim Tuckwell, the VCEDC is experiencing unprecedented results – results people are paying attention to.  “At the VCEDC, we’re putting Vilas County ‘on the map’ as ‘the premier place’ to live where you want to and enjoy a fulfilling career.  Whether it’s through our targeted outreach to entrepreneurs, remote workers and expanding businesses; statewide and Midwest public relations; broadband leadership or day-to-day business support, we’re the catalyst for economic innovation, making it easy for business to succeed and for what people are saying, that things are happening in Vilas County.”
