Join LOREDC's Mission to Enhance the Lake Area

As you may know, a number of agencies, organizations and businesses have joined together to enhance the efforts of economic development opportunities at the Lake of the Ozarks through the creation of the Lake of the Ozarks Regional Economic Development Council (LOREDC). What started over ten years ago as an informal exchange of information between communities throughout the tri-county region, has now evolved into a structured committee with the purpose to retain and attract businesses to the Lake with the understanding that what is good for one community is good for the entire region.
