A Vision of Regional Prosperity
Established in 2023 by Matt Sayre, Caitlin Vargas, and Nicole Desch while celebrating National Tater Tot Day, Collaborative EDO sprang from a vision of thriving prosperity across Lane County. With a regional approach, we're dedicated to creating opportunities that ensure no one is left behind—supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs, empowering students, and helping businesses flourish.
Collaborate with Intention
We believe that the vision of bringing the local median income to that of the national average requires new thinking and a strategy that is anchored in authentic regional partnerships. Collaborative EDO invites anyone interested in joining the work of economic development in Lane County to reach out.
