Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation (CAEDC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, was founded in 2005 by the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners to manage projects that the County was unable to take on. The unique organizational structure of CAEDC, which integrates economic development and tourism promotion services under one roof, provides a paramount resource for businesses, non-profits, local municipalities and residents.
Programs administered by CAEDC are designed to support sound economic development within the Valley and surrounding region, primarily by attracting new businesses, assisting in the development, retention and expansion of businesses, and assisting communities in preparing for economic development opportunities. The tourism arm of CAEDC, Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau (CVVB), promotes Cumberland Valley as a travel and business destination, attracts visitors to the area, enhances the visitor’s experience, and encourages overnight stays.
