Kiamichi Economic Development District of Oklahoma is a Trust Authority of local governments representing the following seven counties in southeast Oklahoma:
- Choctaw
- Haskell
- Latimer
- LeFlore
- McCurtain
- Pittsburg
- Pushmataha
KEDDO was founded in 1967 after a group of local civic and business leaders met and petitioned the Economic Development Administration (EDA) for funding of a local organization to accomplish overall economic planning and development for the seven county region of Choctaw, Haskell, Latimer, LeFlore, McCurtain, Pittsburg, and Pushmataha Counties.
KEDDO is a legal trust authority set up to assist people in Southeastern Oklahoma to plan and promote growth and development for the seven county area. The organization is directed by a Board of Trustees of persons from each of the counties. The financing for KEDDO is a cooperative effort between Federal, State, and Local Governments.
The KEDDO staff will assist any local government in any way it can to aid in economic development or community improvement. For further information about KEDDO’s programs or areas in which this organization can be of service to you and your community, please browse through our website or contact our office.
