Greetings!
May the spirit of happiness and the Holiday season shower you, your family and your business.
As we close this year out, let us reflect on the positive 2022 brought. The MEDC is grateful for the continued support from the Village of Montgomery and the entire business community. The annual golf outing hit record high numbers. In October, Ryan Watson with Farmers Insurance moved his business to the MEDC office. Membership continues to grow and we recently upgraded the MEDC conference room to provide additional services. Thank you for a wonderful year!

Tom retired on December 4th and was surrounded by many staff, family, friends and past retirees over the years. His contributions and dedication to this region are irreplaceable but his continued effort to train, educate and support his staff, will prepare them for the future. Thank you Tom for all you have done to make development flourish in our region

Happy Retirement Tom!
Congratulations to Tom Muth on his retirement. Tom has served the region for over 36 and a half years. He has also volunteered in many events over the years and we were very fortunate to have him on the MEDC Board over the years. It was an honor to have you on our Board and you will be missed. We look forward to seeing you throughout the community and enjoy your time with family. You deserve the best that life has to offer.

The MEDC conference room upgrade.
The Greater Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce, President Jeff Corirossi from Accredited Data Services assisted the MEDC in a recent upgrade to our conference room. They evaluated our needs and worked to design a system that would serve our needs while staying within our budget. Accredited Data Services handled everything from start to finish. This included design, installation and training. This addition will provide additional opportunities for staff, our MEDC partners as well as our clients.
Thanks to our renewing member for their continued support!
