Infinity Engineering Consultants
Since locating to Jefferson Parish in 2018, Infinity Engineering Consultants has looked to JEDCO as a partner and resource. JEDCO has been a facilitator and liaison between Jefferson Parish government and our business, supplying Infinity with information, access, and answers to our questions as we to seek opportunities to grow in this community. The attention, consideration and care we’ve received from the organization since we made Jefferson Parish home has been truly valuable to our continued expansion and vision for the future.
Stained Glass Wine House
From the beginning of coming up with a dream to open a business JEDCO has been instrumental in guiding us along the way. We have been assisted in every step along the process and they continue to help us grow our business and further enhance our relationships with other businesses. From assisting with funding options to helping craft a media image, JEDCO's expert team will help grow your strengths with full support. The bar has been set on what it means to work with an economic development organization and on behalf of Stained Glass Wine House we thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
Kingfish Cider
Making Kingfish Cider a reality was an arduous task that only came to completion due to the efforts of JEDCO. There was assistance all along the way from helping scout out properties, meetings with parish officials, contacts within the permitting departments and most importantly financing. Operating a business at any time is a struggle but especially now. I am glad that I partnered with JEDCO. I feel like they have my back and want me to succeed.
The JEDCO Team works best by meeting with businesses to hear your story. What’s working? What could use a little help? Our team wants to know your business goals, aches and pains, needs. We want to get the HEART of what makes your business tick. Based on what they learn in that meeting, the team will offer guidance, support, connections, and more. The best part? IT’S TOTALLY FREE!
