MCEDC Newsletter

MCEDC (Marshall County Economic Development Corporation) has had a busy year so far.  As a board member I’ve been pleased with some of the progress we’ve made.  Here are a few highlights:

• Installation of a new Executive Director, Jerry Chavez.  He started with MCEDC this Spring and hit the ground running.  Formerly with the Minot, North Dakota Economic Development Corporation, Jerry has brought new ideas and new energy to the position.
• Revamped the MCEDC website.  It has been streamlined and the speed and usability has been increased without losing any of the underlying information.
• Revamped the MCEDC Newsletter, now titled The Economic Development Perspective.  As with the website, the newsletter has been streamlined and the frequency has been increased.  It’s now an easier read and much more timely.
• We have a Shell Building!
  

  Commerce Building

  Now dubbed “The Commerce Building“, the structure is located on Commerce Street in the northwest PIDCO industrial subdivision.  It is ready to show now and the shell should be complete by this time next month.

We’ve managed to do all of this without sacrificing any of our ongoing projects such as the County Development for the Future meetings, outreach to the community through SBDC and our commitment of support to Project Lead the Way.  I’m looking forward to more good things from MCEDC.  If you’re interested in keeping up on those, check out the newsletter link above and add your name to the mailing list.  There are more good things to come!
