WELCOME TO MONTGOMERY COUNTY ACTION COUNCIL
THE PUBLIC/PRIVATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY IN
MONTGOMERY COUNTY KANSAS
Since its
inception, the Montgomery County Action Council (MCAC) has collaborated with
a multitude of individuals and organizations on the Federal, State and local
level for the betterment of Montgomery County's businesses and citizens.
These "partnerships", with governmental, educational, medical, and the
business community, are an essential element in our County's and region's
mutual success.
The financial
contributions entrusted to MCAC, combined with volunteer and staff efforts,
have helped facilitate a number of significant investments that have
broadened and diversified the scope of the area economy. Since 1994, MCAC has facilitated efforts that have resulted in over $250 million in
investment and created in excess of 5,600 new jobs with a 2008 payroll
estimated at $78 million.
During this
same time period, these efforts have contributed to over $1.2 billion in
economic activity in Montgomery County, Kansas with an economic net benefit to our
taxing entities of more than $215 million. This equates to a
return-on-investment of $21.40 generated for each taxpayer dollar invested
in MCAC by Montgomery County.
It is
important for us to acknowledge that MCAC is a partner with a number of
other quality organizations, agencies and municipalities and that through a
strong and positive working relationship with them, we are successful.
MCAC will
continue to be instrumental in developing and nurturing collaborative
efforts to position Montgomery County, Kansas into the future for the next billion
dollars in economic activity.
