Locally: Working in concert with several community organizations and towns, MCED has developed a county wide strategic plan for community and economic development. We have aligned our plan with the state and other regional organizations to provide incentives and strategies to assist all community and business stakeholders in Montgomery County.

Partnerships: Partnering with the state and region on business attraction makes good sense, as it allows MCED to focus our attention on the high caliber businesses already here. The number one objective of MCED is to provide support to existing employers through incentives, workforce development, and infrastructure assistance.

"Doing a lot more of the same is not going to get us different results. Everyone in Indiana understands that we are in a New Era of Economic Development and workforce development. Our local government has become more responsive and the state has become more responsive. Everyone has kicked it up a notch!"
