One of the EPEDC's goals is to advocate and assist in the evaluation, creation, and implementation of responsible natural resource development with regard to agriculture, oil and gas exploration, energy (coal, wind, ethanol, geothermal) development, and power generation.
The EPEDC also promotes cooperation and development that results in adding value to crops and livestock. The EPEDC wishes to provide technical assistance and financing options to qualifying projects and businesses that plan to add value to energy or natural resource products/services, as well.
