2026-2028 Strategic Plan

MONTCALM COUNTY

The Montcalm Economic Alliance enters this next chapter with a clear sense of direction and purpose. Over the past year, we’ve spent time listening to our communities, our partners, and the people who live and work here. Those conversations have guided our priorities and helped us understand how MEA can better serve as a trusted resource for growth and connection. This plan reflects what we’ve learned. It’s about acting on the insights shared with us, continuing to build trust, and creating results that matter for Montcalm County. Together, we’re turning ideas into action, building a foundation for People, Place, and Prosperity that reflects our shared vision and the progress we create together.
