Our objective is economic empowerment of the citizens of Prince George’s County. 
SCEDA participates as a major stakeholder in all relevant forums and decision making
bodies responsible for shaping economic development, the master plans,
zoning, transportation, public safety, education, business opportunity and legislation issues. 

SCEDA is organized and is operated exclusively for the purpose of unifying and motivating business professionals and other interested parties to establish and develop SCEDA as a community vehicle that speaks as a common voice and acts effectively in matters which impact commerce and other economic activity in Prince George’s County.  We strive for the protection and improvement of the economic welfare of our total community, including both consumers and providers of goods and services.

We support development projects such as the National Harbor (http://www.nationalharbor.com/) and the Indian Head Highway (MD 210) Expansion Project.  Through our representation on the Board of Directors of the Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation (http://www.pgcedc.com), the National Harbor Local, the Minority Business Enterprise Oversight Committee,the Prince George’s Financial Services Corporation (FSC First) (http://www.fscfirst.com), and the Prince Georges Chamber of Commerce (http://www.pgcoc.org), SCEDA monitors business and contracting opportunities, small business utilization in the County and presses for increased access to opportunities for qualified Local Small and Minority-Owned businesses.
