History & Funding
The South Coast Development Council, Inc. (SCDC) was founded in 2000 as a 501(c)3 private non-profit, economic development organization. SCDC was originally formed to focus on the recruitment of traded-sector businesses and industries to the Coos Bay North Bend Oregon Bay Area. However, the organization was restructured and refocused in 2013/14, to focus regionally on traded-sector business retention and expansion (BRE) efforts and helped SCDC grow at an incredible rate. This new focus made it possible for SCDC to help many businesses expand their current operations, find new locations, and act as a catalyst for many successful start-up businesses.
The South Coast Development Council, Inc. is headed by an Executive Director and staff members which is supported by regional members and directed by a 30-member general board of directors and a seven-member Executive Board. Members are located throughout the Southern Oregon Coast and are made up of private individuals, businesses, public entities and government bodies interested in improving our regional economy. Our membership is a diverse group representing the unique communities of our region. Members represent businesses large and small, government entities, and individuals dedicated to seeing the Southern Oregon Coast grow and thrive.
