Business Development
The third arm to develop under the Sault Tribe EDC is the Business Development tier. The business development branch was created to provide business support to Sault Tribe citizen-owned businesses.
As the Sault Tribe EDC activities have progressed, it became apparent that with a nation of more than 44,000 Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians citizens, many entrepreneurs and business owners already existed across the service area and United States. The need to diversify the Tribe’s non-gaming economic activities to compliment gaming operations is the main driver in these development efforts.
