Brian Meiners
Director, (Past President)
"Without economy, people do not build a community. Economic development is foundational to all aspects of improving quality of life through business growth that in turn creates employment opportunities. I support Grant County EDC because it is a catalyst to help the citizens of Grant County attract and retain valuable businesses that create an environment of economic diversity and prosperity."
