Partnering for growth

Economic development doesn’t occur in a vacuum. It’s a team effort that necessitates careful planning and the long-term collaboration of a diverse range of stakeholders.
The Western Kansas Rural Economic Development Alliance (wKREDA) is a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to the betterment of western Kansas. Fifty-five counties in western Kansas have gotten together to pool human and financial resources to collaborate towards this common goal.
Members of wKREDA are investing in the future of the region. They benefit from services such as mentoring, educational seminars, networking opportunities, legislative advocacy and more. You can learn about wKREDA membership as well as current members on our new website: http://www.wkreda.com/wkreda
