A local organization celebrates their 10th anniversary. The Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation will hold their celebration at their annual meeting this month. The MCEDC is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to try to bring about more business opportunities and improve quality of life for citizens. MCEDC Board of Directors Secretary Terri Miller says everyone is invited to attend the meeting and celebration.

"We love and encourage people from the community to come and see what we're doing and to get involved with what we're trying to accomplish which is bringing more business and economic opportunity to the county. So we get to hear what we've been up to for the past year and what our future plans are. It's our 10th anniversary so we're going to kind of have a nostalgic view back on the accomplishments of the organization and really focus on the future because I think there are many positive things that are happening in the county. It's a great time to be involved in that and it's a wonderful event to hear about what's happening right here in Montgomery County. We're making progress everyday and so I think the general public loves to hear that and they need to know that despite some of the budget issues that we're hearing about in the state, right here in Montgomery County we're making things happen one day at a time, one program at a time, one business at a time."

The meeting and dinner takes place at 6pm on Thursday, April 16th at the Hillsboro Moose Lodge. To purchase tickets for the event, RSVP by April 10th by calling 851-4332.Thomack 4/6/15
