The Appanoose Economic
Development Corporation (AEDC) received incorporated status as a private,
non-profit 501(c)(6) corporation on April 3, 1986. Since this time, economic
development work has largely been managed by a handful of volunteer community
leaders. These individuals were responsible for helping establish the Centerville
Industrial Park and for helping attract industries such as Rubbermaid, Barker
Company and Wells Manufacturing.
The board in late 2003 decided to hire a full-time, countywide executive
director, the first in AEDC's history. The purpose was to have
a dedicated professional attending to the day-to-day needs of local business
and industry. AEDC remains governed by a volunteer board of directors
with written by-laws. Board directors are elected by AEDC membership
or appointed by the board in the case of an unexpected departure.
