The long-term strength of our places is critical to the economic, civic and social viability of communities across the country. Our purpose is to enrich community through human engagement.

When communities feel a part of something bigger than themselves, prosperity follows – economically, socially, culturally and soulfully. The EDENS team is working diligently to protect the health of our communities and our American economy.

 Nearly 1 out of 4 American jobs is retail related and the US retail industry – including our small businesses – is the backbone of our economy. Roughly 70 percent of shopping center retailers are small businesses that employ less than 10 people.

 EDENS and our partners are calling on all policymakers to deliver assistance for our retailers, our small businesses and our American workers.
