The holiday season is over and the legislative season is ready to begin.
MEDC has decided to pursue several legislative priorities, including updates to the Missouri Quality Jobs and Enhanced Enterprise Zone programs. MEDC was the main architect of the Missouri Quality Jobs program that has created thousands of jobs since it was signed into law by Governor Matt Blunt just two years ago. We are now ready to increase funding and make the program even more attractive to site developers and employers looking for a great place to do business.
We will also pursue new initiatives like the Small Business and Entrepreneurial Development Act, designed to help independent businesses grow in Missouri, and the Missouri Economic Development Code that will provide developers with the tools they need to provide infrastructure for new developments in previously undeveloped areas.
We will post updates on the progress of our legislative priorities on this blog, so subscribe or check back often!
