Dickinson County Ecomonic Development Corporation - Partnership

Dickinson County Ecomonic Development Corporation - Partnership DKEDC’s Business Partnership branch, supporting our Dickinson County (KS) partners! Why focus on Business Retention and Expansion?

The Driving Dickinson County Partnership is the former Abilene Chamber of Commerce, now a resource for businesses county-wide. Existing firms generate up to 80% of net new jobs and capital investment in any economy. Generally, existing firms provide even more return on investment in smaller, rural market areas where entrepreneurial and recruitment opportunities are limited. The insights gained thr

ough systematic business retention and expansion efforts provide the basis for future strategic entrepreneurial development and business recruitment. Business retention and expansion has to be the first step for all economic and workforce development initiatives in our area. This Driving Dickinson County Partnership effort tells our existing businesses that they are the primary concern and focus of DKEDC. The intention of the Partnership through this program is to raise the bar for companies in the county by making them more agile, adaptive, and able to compete globally, especially where we emphasize our strategic clusters and industry sectors.

Workforce development is a team effort — and Opportunity Night is a great example of partnership in action.

We’re proud to see Driving Dickinson County engaging with students and families to highlight real career pathways right here at home. When schools, businesses, and community leaders work together, we strengthen the pipeline that drives our county forward.

Thank you to High School for creating meaningful space for these conversations.
