REDI was founded in 1988 when community leaders recognized the need to collaborate to attract, expand, grow, and support local businesses, and preserve the area’s exceptional quality of life. Our goal as a nonprofit, public/private partnership is to enhance the vitality of local businesses and increase the number of quality, sustainable jobs in Columbia and throughout Boone County, MO. We continue to coordinate the area’s economic development activities to enhance the community’s economic base while preserving its exceptional quality of life.
REDI is an Accredited Economic Development Organization (AEDO) as designated by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).
