The Cordova Chamber of Commerce created its new Economic Development committee in 2017 with the mission of bringing businesses together to leverage local capacity and grow economic opportunity in Cordova. The group decided that the best way to start addressing the economic development needs of the community would be to provide a forum and opportunity for open discussion among local businesses, organizations, potential new business owners and entities with a vested interest in Cordova.

The first Cordova Economic Summit was held on April 19, 2018 and with morning, lunch, and afternoon sessions for presentations, industry panels, roundtable discussions, and business-to-business exchanges.

Cordova Chamber of Commerce along with Prince William Sound Economic Development District was happy to welcome presenters focused on informing and equipping Cordova businesses with current economic impacts & trends as well as burgeoning opportunities like Mariculture.
