The Highland Economic Development Authority works as a catalyst for economic growth, diversification, and sustainability within the county that promotes a spirit of pride, and a strong sense of community while practicing inclusiveness and cooperation.

The Highland County Economic Development Authority (EDA) meets the third Monday of each month at 7 pm at The Highland Center (61 Highland Center Drive, Monterey).  The public is invited to attend.  For more information, please email highlandeda@htcnet.org.

The Highland EDA announces an Incentive Grant Application toward the end of the calendar year.  The purpose of the Highland EDA Grant Incentive Program is to encourage the growth and success of small businesses located in Highland County.  Grant funds, typically in a range of $2,000 - $5,000 per business, are for the purpose of assisting with start-up or expansion expenses.  Please check back here for the full details and application near the end of the calendar year.
