About
NAVIGATING OUR FUTURE
The Marion County Development Commission (MCDC) exists to identify and plan strategies which will grow Marion County's economy. To do this, the MCDC provides public and private entities with information on key economic indicators, assets and trends. Four key elements of focus include:
1. Building a prosperity culture which attracts and retains talent to the region.
2. Developing growth strategies that provide a climate for business success.
3. Investments in placemaking to create thriving communities and enhance living.
4. Creating connections both within Marion County and with regional/state partners to implement these strategies.
There is no simple solution to navigate our future, but rather a coordinated effort to drive the economy using multiple strategies.
