About Friars Point E.D.A.
The Friars Point Economic Development Association was established in 2023 with the intention of improving the overall quality of life within the City of Friars Point. Our aim is to work with the Friars Point City Council to create an infrastructure that will attract businesses to our City. To establish job training programs in order to decrease the percentage of Friars Point residents living below the poverty level. To bring a medical facility with licensed medical personnel into the City. To increase police protection within the City. To establish a library so that our senior citizens and children can have a quiet place to read a book or explore the the world beyond Friars Point.
Recognizing the many economic needs in Friars Point, we organized the Friars Point Economic Development Association to identify and formulate the necessary direction to improve our historic city.
We reached out to businesses and organizations with a reputation for assisting communities rebuild their economy and improve living conditions.
Our search resulted in finding Omicron Phi Foundation and MBJ Enterprises. These organizations have provided the expert knowledge and directions to make this project a success. We say "Thank You" to these GREAT organizations for their humanitarian and community improvement efforts.
