Since 1962, the Morgan County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC) has served as a cornerstone nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding and diversifying Morgan County’s regional economy. By providing confidential guidance, detailed economic data, and project assistance, MCEDC helps local employers, prospective investors, and developers navigate growth with confidence.

Targeted Support for Financing, Small Business, and Talent

To fuel sustainable local investments, the MCEDC administers a Revolving Loan Fund that bridges critical financing gaps for qualified startups and expanding enterprises. Complementing this work, the affiliated Morgan County Diversification Foundation awards small-business grants for essential equipment, facility expansions, and workforce training.

The MCEDC is equally committed to securing the region’s long-term talent pipeline. Through the innovative ROOTS76 program, local high school students gain hands-on safety training, virtual-reality instruction, and industry certifications to prepare for rewarding careers with regional employers.
