About GNDC
Certified by the United States Economic Development Administration and the State of Montana as a Certified Regional Development Corporation, Great Northern Development Corporation (GNDC) services a six county region of Northeast Montana: Valley, Daniels, Sheridan, Roosevelt, Garfield, and McCone.
Great Northern Development Corporation is designated by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) as an Economic Development District (EDD) for the counties of Sheridan, Daniels, Roosevelt, Valley, McCone & Garfield. The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is a guiding document, used to track economic development needs in the GNDC region. The CEDS is required for projects in the GNDC to qualify for EDA assistance. GNDC is responsible for completing a new CEDS every five years, and providing assistance to communities seeking EDA investment in infrastructure, technical assistance, and planning projects consistent with the GNDC regional CEDS.
