Existing Business Services

The Greensboro Economic Development Alliance has an outstanding Business Retention and Expansion program to meet the needs of businesses and industries in Greensboro and Guilford County. We recognize that the majority of new jobs created come from expansion of existing businesses. Through our program, we give business executives the opportunity to have their concerns and opinions passed directly to local leaders in the community. Our goal is to improve communication and create greater understanding between business and community leadership.
