Published June 2009. Captured July 2, 2009.MCEDD looks to build more relationships with entrepreneurs in the region; to take advantage of the businesses already present in the region and work with them to improve their ability to prosper here. After severe economic downturns from the loss of timber industry and other natural resource-based jobs, MCEDD has concentrated on working with local governments and entrepreneurs to benefit our region’s economy together. The result: lower unemployment rates region wide, more jobs, and an improved quality of life.
