Our Story
The Guilford County Economic Development Alliance (GCEDA) was created in 2015 with the goal of facilitating exponential growth in the Greensboro-High Point region. Through real and effective collaboration among the local governments of Guilford County and the cities of Greensboro and High Point, as well as the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce and the High Point Economic Development Corporation, GCEDA works to retain and expand existing industries in the area, as well as attract new business opportunities and grow emerging sectors. Under the alliance, the organizations work together with equal voice to manage projects, share leads, conduct research and continue to lead Greensboro-High Point into its increasingly bright future.
Our central location puts you within 650 miles of half the U.S. population. With a close proximity to major cities – less than 100 miles away from both Raleigh and Charlotte – multimarket access has never been easier. In our one county, companies and talent get the benefit of two mid-sized cities with growing downtowns, suburban and rural areas, which means there’s plenty of room to expand your business and maximize your quality of life.
Add to that our dedication to cutting-edge educational programs, diverse industry landscape, a transportation infrastructure that can easily take you anywhere in the world and a steadily growing, highly-skilled population, there truly is something for everyone in Greensboro-High Point.
