The EDC is committed to its existing industry base and to
attracting new industry to the area for a well balanced and
diversified economy. As conditions, circumstances and
our current economy changes and morphs into new identities,
the EDC will enact ad hoc task forces or committees to address
the current unplanned needs of the community.
Ad hoc is a Latin phrase which,
literally, means "For this". It generally signifies a solution
designed for a specific problem or task, non-generalizable,
and which cannot be adapted to other purposes.
Common examples are organizations, committees, and
commissions created at the national or international level for
a specific task. In other fields the term may refer, for
example, to a military unit created under special
circumstances, tailor-made suit, a handcrafted network
protocol or a purpose-specific equation. Ad hoc can
also have connotations of a makeshift solution, inadequate
planning, or improvised events.
