About Us

The Colchester Regional Development Agency’s (CoRDA’s) mission is to drive sustainable economic growth, creating healthy communities, prosperous business and opportunity for our citizens.

We take our job seriously. But that’s not the only reason we’re good at what we do. CoRDA was formed in 1992 when a group Colchester citizens recognized the need to work together to promote the region. This grass-roots approach to building a strong community still guides everything we do. From helping people in our community build their business, to welcoming immigrants, to introducing the region to international corporations, we believe that every person and business we help becomes part of our network – and someday, hopefully, part of our community. growth, creating healthy communities, prosperous business and opportunity for our citizens.
