Today we’re talking with Rebecca Baer, President and CEO of the Shasta Economic Development Corporation, or Shasta EDC. We’ve talked with the EDC before, but this conversation focuses on what it really takes to bring a new business to Redding.

And spoiler alert—it’s not just incentives, though Redding does have plenty of those to offer. We talked a lot about quality of life here in Redding… and what it really looks like to get a company to say “yes” to this community. 

 This isn’t your typical economic development conversation. The big takeaway is there are a lot of reasons businesses choose Redding—and a lot of people working behind the scenes to make that happen.
