Grafton RDC is a regional economic development organization serving Grafton County in New Hampshire and its 39 municipalities. It acts as a catalyst for local economic growth by connecting public and private partners to advance job creation, entrepreneurship, and community development. The organization operates through initiatives such as a revolving loan fund and ownership of two business incubators developed in partnership with Dartmouth College and Plymouth State University, aiming to support startups and small businesses in the region. Based in Plymouth, New Hampshire, the group highlights access to regional assets—major highways, nearby higher education institutions, a skilled workforce, and a high quality of life—as factors that facilitate business recruitment and growth. Since 2008, it has also collaborated with a consortium of high schools and businesses to provide internships, linking students with future job opportunities. A recent development includes the launch of the Upper Valley Childcare Solutions Partnership to address childcare shortages in the area.
