The Windham Economic Development Committee (WEDC), was originally formed in 2007 as a subcommittee of the Greater Salem Chamber of Commerce. In April of 2010, the Board of Selectmen established the EDC as a Town Committee that they may better assist, counsel, and advise the Citizens of Windham, the Board of Selectmen, other Town Boards and Departments, and Windham businesses, both existing and proposed, on the merits of Economic Development.

It is the mission of the Economic Development Committee to enhance the vitality of the local economy by supporting existing business and attracting new businesses to Windham, encouraging economic development consistent with the Windham Master Plan, and promoting the spirit of the Town Motto: Old Values, New Horizons. You may learn more about the EDC's goals toward attaining this mission within their Committee Rules and their recently adopted Strategic Plan.

The Committee is comprised of eleven (11) members. Eight (8) of these members, as appointed by the Board of Selectmen, are either Town residents or are involved in the Windham business community. The remaining three (3) are Ex-Officio members of the current Planning Board, Board of Selectmen, and Chamber of Commerce, who are appointed annually by their respective Boards.

Currently serving on the Committee are:

Bob Young, Chairman      

Jay Yennaco, Vice-Chair
