Somerset-Pulaski Economic Development Authority

The Som­er­set-Pulas­ki Eco­nom­ic Devel­op­ment Author­i­ty (SPEDA) strives to pro­vide oppor­tu­ni­ties that fos­ter busi­ness growth, improve work­force devel­op­ment, increase tourism, and encour­age indus­try lead­ers. SPEDA is an aggres­sive, inno­v­a­tive, and col­lab­o­ra­tive city-coun­ty part­ner­ship that leads the way in improv­ing the eco­nom­ic, polit­i­cal, and social well-being of its cit­i­zens. Using a proac­tive mind­set, SPEDA uti­lizes indus­tri­al recruit­ment, retail and com­mer­cial devel­op­ment, tourism mar­ket­ing and pro­mo­tion, edu­ca­tion, work­force devel­op­ment, arts and enter­tain­ment with over­all com­mu­ni­ty plan­ning to improve qual­i­ty of life in Som­er­set, Pulas­ki Coun­ty and the Lake Cum­ber­land region.
