More than 600 people attended the LVEDC 2018 Annual Meeting at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks in Bethlehem.

The Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC) has announced that its 2019 Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 19, at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks in Bethlehem.

This annual event highlights economic development projects and activity over the past year and recognizes the companies and individuals that have contributed to the region’s economic success.

“The Lehigh Valley’s gross domestic product has never been higher, and our economy is unusually balanced and diversified, much more so than that of the national economy,” said Don Cunningham, President & CEO of LVEDC.

“Our annual meeting will give us the opportunity to highlight several of the region’s successful projects, as well as many of the ongoing initiatives we’re undertaking to help continue the region’s economic growth,” Cunningham said.

There is no cost to attend the 2018 LVEDC Annual Meeting, but registration is required. Please visit this website to find the registration form.

Attendance typically brings together about 500 of Lehigh Valley’s most influential business professionals to learn about regional economic development and network with peers.

The 2018 LVEDC Annual Report will also be distributed at the event, further highlighting the many accomplishments of the regional economy over the past year. Click here to see last year’s annual report.
