Queens County Overall Economic

What do you dream about? Maybe it's building a yoga studio in Jamaica. Or maybe you spend your days planning to open a cheese shop, or even a bookstore, in Jackson Heights. Or, you could have visions of crafting gourmet chocolates or dog treats to sell at markets around the city. These dreams, and thousands like them, are the kind of thing that QEDC has helped make a reality since 1977. Learn more about us. Queens is home to 2.3 million people – nearly all of whom have been touched by our work in some way. We've helped thousands of entrepreneurs start businesses that employ thousands more, promoted events and attractions that have driven tens of millions of visitors, and supported organizations that make our neighborhoods the envy of the world. Creating the future of the Queens economy takes all of us. We gratefully acknowledge the dedicated support of our city, state, and federal government partners, and we're thankful for additional generous support from private foundations, corporate sponshorship, and individual philantropy. If you love Queens as much as we do, consider joining our mission through funding support, volunteering, or other means.

I am here to leave my feedback on Sante. A. I was referred to QEDC by a dear friend of mine. From the first day I met Sante he was polite, informative and personable. He shared all of his knowledge and resources with my business partner and I. I feel Sante is a great mentor and anyone who is lucky enough to work with him will truly excel in executing their vision. Out of all things I love how Sante hold's me accountable and follow's up regularly. He is also a straight shooter, as a New Yorker, it doesn't get any better than that. If you're looking for a great mentor in Queens New York, request Sante. A. I send blessing to all entrepreneurs who are executing their vision!
