The Hudson County Economic Development Corporation (HCEDC) is a nonprofit organization based in Jersey City, New Jersey, established in 1994 to promote business growth and community development throughout Hudson County. It supports the twelve municipalities in the region with programs focused on small business assistance, financial and economic outreach, site selection for relocating or expanding businesses, and a Brownfields program aimed at redeveloping underutilized industrial sites. The organization operates a Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund to fund remediation efforts and positions itself as a partner in business attraction, maintaining relationships with the real estate sector to aid companies relocating to Hudson County with site selection and incentive considerations. HCEDC serves small business owners and developers, offering educational and technical assistance as part of its services, and has a presence in the local community through its initiatives and outreach activities. A notable development in its recent history includes the launch of The Million Dollar Challenge, a lending initiative designed to improve access to capital for county business owners and entrepreneurs.
