After 40 years, the Whitefield Economic Development Corp. is no more

WHITEFIELD — After 40 years, the Whitefield Economic Development Corp. is no more. The non-profit’s board of directors on Feb. 21 made the “difficult decision” to dissolve WEDC. In a letter to the Whitefield Select Board, WEDC leadership wrote, “The decision was not made lightly.” WEDC will transfer all remaining assets to the Town of Whitefield as part of the dissolution process. “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Town of Whitefield. Thank you for your understanding and support,” the letter said. Incorporated in Aug. 1983, the Whitefield Economic Development Corp. once played a key role in Whitefield’s economic development.
