Letter from the Executive Director

     As the Executive Director of the McDowell Economic Development Association, Inc. (MEDA), I would like to take this opportunity to explain the function of the organization. MEDA is a non-profit corporation serving McDowell County and is a public/private effort, funded by the County and through memberships and donations from businesses, industries and individuals.  The organization is guided by a twenty-member Board of Directors representing all sections of the County and is managed by the Executive Director and Administrative Assistant.

     The goal of MEDA is to create jobs and increase the tax base in McDowell County, whether it is through recruiting a new industry or assisting an existing industry that is expanding. In an effort to conform to this goal, MEDA maintains a good working relationship with the North Carolina Department of Commerce, AdvantageWest, Industrial Realtors, Utility companies, etc.  In an effort to promote McDowell County, MEDA compiles and produces current demographic data, site and building specifications, employee training program information and other information that may be requested by a prospective client.

     In closing, if you would like to become a member and support the McDowell Economic Development Association, you may click on our Membership button or you may call us at (828) 652-9391 or email us.
