"MEDP has been an effective partner for the City of Carlinville and Macoupin County. MEDP has helped with projects large and small, giving the same consideration to each. Shari Albrecht and Courtney Wood helped the City find the professional services necessary to complete our business district plan and the ongoing revision of the TIF district. The progress of the Plaza redevelopment, with all the parties involved, is being handled efficiently by our MEDP partners. The work done to retain, train, relocate and expand current business has kept and increased the local workforce. New business recruitment is working on multiple projects that will benefit everyone with job opportunities, better services and retail options. Thanks MEDP, the year ahead will be an exciting one,” said Alderman Mark Staerk.
