Part of MEDA's mission is to lead Michigan's economic development through advocacy on economic development.
Providing education and information regarding the legislation that impacts economic development helps MEDA's members stay on top of changes to their operations and the tools that they can provide that have a positive outcome for their communities.
Economic developers not only need timely education and information but ongoing support from the State Legislature, who make decisions on key funding programs that are needed for their work. Recognizing that, MEDA provides information to help facilitate the connection between Michigan's economic developers and their legislators.
