Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp.

Don Cunningham leads the non-profit, public-private coalition for regional economic development that is responsible for marketing the Lehigh Valley’s economic assets. The organization seeks to attract and retain employers in key strategic sectors and to attract and retain skilled talent that employers need. “Our primary goal is to ensure that Lehigh Valley employers can prosper and that everyone who lives in the Lehigh Valley can find good jobs that meet their skill and education level,” Cunningham said.
