Montgomery County, Md. — The Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC) is celebrating Economic Development Week (EDW), May 6-10, by placing a spotlight on Montgomery County’s vibrant and diverse business community and the significant economic contributions they make to the county.
“Montgomery County is one of the most unique and diverse business communities in the country, and because of this — and the county’s well-established ecosystem — leading global businesses choose to locate their headquarters here. We are also home to local companies that have expanded into global powerhouses. We celebrate their contributions to help position Montgomery County as the premier place to do business,” said MCEDC’s President and CEO Bill Tompkins.
Started in 2016 by the International Economic Development Council, Economic Development Week is a global initiative to recognize how economic development transforms lives in communities around the world. More than 100,000 economic development professionals worldwide are committed to creating, retaining and expanding opportunities that facilitate long-term, equitable community growth. The impact of their work casts a wide net, including job creation and retention, increased tax revenue, thriving neighborhoods and overall improved quality of life.
