About the Duncan Area Economic Development Foundation
In 1993, the citizens and businesses of Duncan created the Duncan Area Economic
Development Foundation (DAEDF) to promote the development of existing businesses, attract
new businesses, and diversify Duncan's economic base. By simultaneously building up the
local infrastructure, establishing relationships throughout the community and state, and
ensuring that there is a well-trained and vital workforce, DAEDF created an attractive business
climate. DAEDF has attracted businesses that provide competitive wages and make capital
investments in the community, which means they are more likely to remain in the area as longterm employers.
