Executive Director

Hello and welcome to Macon county. We hope you will take the time to learn more about the advantages of working and living in our exciting community.

As an Economic Developer for Macon County, I could go on and on about the unique benefits in having a business here, the entrepreneurial spirit that exists, the skilled workforce and the exceptional quality of life.  While all this is very true, I would much rather you hear it from the people who have experienced the Macon choice for themselves.  Experience their stories and learn for yourself why Macon County is the location of choice, as we invite you to come grow and go with us!

* Establish infrastructure support grants for both the County of Macon and the cities within Macon County,
* Create a revolving loan fund for small businesses and entrepreneurs
