Since its inception, the Montgomery County Action Council (MCAC) has collaborated with a multitude of individuals and organizations on the Federal, State and local levels 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 the same time period, these efforts have contributed to over $1.2 billion in economic activity in Montgomery County with an economic net benefit to our taxing entities of just under $215 million.  This equates to a return-on-investment of $21.35 generated for each taxpayer dollar invested in MCAC by Montgomery County.

The dollar figures do not tell the entire story.  Much of MCAC's efforts are undertaken "behind the scenes".  Although not visible and easily recognized, these efforts are crucial to the viability of our businesses and their employees. 

It is important 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.
