The San Diego East County Economic Development Council (EDC) is a nonprofit organization based in El Cajon, California, focused on fostering a healthy and sustainable economic climate for San Diego’s East County. Since 1984, it has operated as an alliance of representatives from business, community, education, government, and industry, aiming to promote successful business activity across cities including El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and Santee, as well as unincorporated communities such as Alpine, Lakeside, Rancho San Diego, and Spring Valley.
The EDC seeks to bridge gaps among industry, education, government, and infrastructure to support economic growth and quality of life in the region. Its activities center on convening diverse stakeholders to develop an economic base that expands existing businesses, creates new opportunities, and advances initiatives important to its members, with an emphasis on innovative projects and collaborative effort. A recent development notes that Matt Sanford was named President and CEO in early 2026, indicating ongoing leadership transitions as the organization pursues its regional growth objectives.
