Wyandotte Economic Development Council Launches Redesigned Website to Enhance Business and Community Engagement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, KS — The Wyandotte Economic Development Council (WYEDC) has launched its redesigned website, www.wyedc.org, developed in partnership with Golden Shovel Agency. The new site offers an enhanced user experience, faster navigation, and clear access to business and community resources that highlight Wyandotte County’s economic strengths.

The redesign aligns with WYEDC’s mission to advance Wyandotte County’s economy through data-driven strategies, collaboration, and leadership in industrial, residential, office, and retail development. The site delivers a modern interface that reflects the county’s momentum and growing appeal to investors, employers, and residents.

“This new platform allows us to communicate our impact with greater transparency and precision,” said Greg Kindle, President of the Wyandotte Economic Development Council. “It provides easy access to key data and stories that demonstrate how Wyandotte County continues to grow and attract new investment.”

Key features of the redesigned WYEDC website:

• Performance Highlights: The homepage presents measurable outcomes, including project announcements, total capital investment, new and retained jobs, and square footage added.
• Investor Center: A dedicated section outlines investment totals over the past two years, including annual one-on-one meetings and investor events, as well as a comprehensive list of partners categorized by industry.
• #wyedc Hub: A centralized resource for the “Ecodev101” social media campaign, connecting users to educational content on economic development.
• Updated Site Listings: Integration with the LocationOne Information System provides current data on available sites and properties.
• EcoDev 101 Page: A new educational hub answers common questions about how economic development benefits businesses, residents, and local leaders.

WYEDC’s partnership with Golden Shovel Agency focused on usability, design clarity, and accessibility. The project’s success reflects the shared commitment to support Wyandotte County’s economic ecosystem.

The redesigned website positions WYEDC as a more active and transparent, data-informed, and community-focused organization. It serves as a central source for business attraction, retention, and expansion information while showcasing Wyandotte County’s continued investment success.
