Our work in Hudson County has always been about partnership.

Working alongside Hudson County Economic Development Corporation, UCEDC has helped local entrepreneurs access funding, training, and support designed to help their businesses grow and thrive.

The numbers tell part of the story โ€” but behind every loan, workshop, counseling session, and job supported is a Hudson County business owner working toward something bigger.

Weโ€™re proud of what this partnership has made possible.

Stronger businesses. Stronger communities. Stronger together.
