Lake of the Ozarks Regional Economic Development Council

The Lake of the Ozarks is a diverse area that has an excellent business environment and outstanding “quality of life” attributes. However, it needed a cohesive and cooperative effort to sell these advantages to potential business and industry. As a result, the LOREDC was formed to promote a regional approach to marketing the Lake Area. LOREDC consists of communities within a three-county region in Central Missouri – Camden, Miller, and Morgan.

LOREDC encourages economic development by providing organization and program development, motivation, coordination, and evaluation of community projects, programs and resources.

We have the responsibility of determining the major areas of concern, reviewing community resources, setting goals and priorities, and developing the necessary volunteer committees to carry out its purpose.
