Greetings!
 
This year marks a very special time for the (MEDC) Montgomery Economic Development Corporation. In April, we celebrated our 10th year anniversary!  So many great things have happened over the last decade. We are excited to think about the year ahead and know many more great things will continue in Montgomery.

We continue to grow in members and activities!
