The EDA is comprised of a Board of seven appointed volunteer Directors, one paid staff executive director, one paid staff marketing director, and one paid property administrator.

The Board of Directors is appointed by the two local governing bodies in direct proportion to the amount of funding granted by each.  Warren County, which funds 72% of EDA’s operating budget, appoints five directors and the Town of Front Royal, which funds 28% of EDA’s operating budget, appoints two directors.  Directors serve four-year staggered terms.

The mission of the Economic Development Authority is to broaden the industrial tax base of its community, to bring its commuting workforce home to work, to create living wage jobs for its residents, and to foster a healthy environment in which businesses may grow and prosper.
