Advocacy

With a GDP of $107 billion – bigger than nine states and more than 120 nations, the Queens economy is as dynamic and diverse as the 2.3 million people that call it home. As we continue to build on this success, QEDC works to champion projects and policies that provide economic opporunity across every neighborhood.

Global connections, unparalleled infrastructure, and a hustle that can't be beat make Queens the best place to start a business, grow a business, and make the future happen. If you're looking to build your future here, and you're curious about what makes Queens such a special place, get in touch and we can organize tours, facilitate connections, and more.

In Queens and across the region, QEDC supports initiatives that advance the values inherent to our mission of making Queens thrive: economic justice and opportunity, sustainable development, education access, affordability, and more. We're proud to have lent our support to initiatives ranging from parks to transportation projects, accessivility programs to disaster relief.
