MCCC is a 501 c 6 and advocates on behalf of a strong business community in Montgomery County and Maryland. Below are advocacy highlights at the county, state, and federal levels. For more information about our advocacy work, visit our Advocacy Page.

COUNTY:
- Economic Development Reorganization: On Tuesday, June 30, the Montgomery County Council, at the request of the County Executive, passed Bill 25-15 to reorganize economic development responsibilities into a new non-profit organization. MCCC sent a letter to the County Executive and testified at the public hearing and looks forward to continuing to work with the newly created MCEDC. Read more here.
- Earned Sick and Safe Leave: MCCC together with other business organizations worked to modify the final bill in important ways. Bill 60-14 was signed by County Executive Leggett on July 2. For more information, click here.

- Purple Line: Governor Hogan has announced his approval for the Purple Line to move forward, contingent upon a reduction of the overall scope/cost of the project, and an increase in share of the cost to be supported by Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, and receipt of the expected $900M in Federal funding.

- Federal Government Sets Record Achievement for SDVOSB Contracts: The federal government set a new record of achievement of rewarding contracting dollars to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). For the third year in a row, the federal government has met its commitment to goal for SDVOSBs. This groundbreaking achievement ensures that veteran-business owners have a fair opportunity to compete in the federal marketplace. Read more here.
