The Upper Darby Corporation for Community and Economic Development envisions a thriving business community where all those who want to contribute to our local economy as entrepreneurs have the resources they need to get started, and all those who are established businesses in the community will be strengthened by working together towards a common vision that not only sees a profitable bottom line, but also contributes to the betterment of the community in which they are based. To accomplish this we look to such efforts as
- Bringing resources to Upper Darby that support the development of entrepreneurial endeavors such as classes on creating a business plan, devising a marketing strategy, financial management and other important business practices
- Convening local businesses around the establishment of a Chamber of Commerce to promote collaboration and strategic business development
- Turning the riches of Upper Darby Township architecture and history into valuable business assets for the benefit of the community
- Promoting Upper Darby Township as “the” place to establish a new business based on its location, wealth of available, reasonably priced real estate and potential for growth
