Certified Entrepreneurial Community

As part of the economic development effort in Macon County, the Economic Development Commission (EDC) partnered with Advantage West's Certified Entrepreneur Community (CEC) initiative. Fundamental to the CEC program is establishing a broad based knowledge of the business environment in the county followed by development of a community strategy for continued business support. A key step is assessing and/or establishing community support for entrepreneurs thru community participation and governmental support. Macon County Commissioners and the EDC enthusiastically embraced the program and a group of citizens volunteered to lead the effort. At present Macon County is nearing completion of the rigorous five-step process to receive certification as a Certified Entrepreneurial Community.
