ATLANTA - July 11, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTC.BB:ECDC), through its subsidiary EarthSearch Communications, Inc., announced today that it has secured a ten million dollar equity line of credit with Southridge Partners II LP and plans to accelerate the execution of its business plans.

The agreement allows EarthSearch to do a draw down on the equity line on an as-need basis by issuing shares of its common stock. The Company filed a form 8K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8.

"This was a significant step forward for our business," commented Kayode Aladesuyi, CEO, ECDC. "We can now aggressively execute our business plan.
