Economic Development 

The North Central Massachusetts Development Corporation (NCMDC) is the principle resource for the region in terms of economic development; lending and financing; and implementing a multi-faceted regional economic development strategy to enhance economic development services while expanding lending capacity to accommodate the region’s unique industry mix.  The NCMDC is governed by the North Central Massachusetts Economic Development Council which is composed of representatives from the entire 26-community region.  These representatives involve business and community leaders, the regions’ five Chambers of Commerce, regional planning and development organizations, and elected officials on the state and local level. 

The Council was formed in 2006 through a key partnership with Mount Wachusett Community College, Fitchburg State College, and the regions’ Legislative Delegation.  The Council’s mission is to plan and implement programs to create jobs and increase economic opportunity in the region.

The NCMDC is staffed by experienced professionals with extensive backgrounds in economic development; banking and finance; and government affairs.  The NCMDC is pleased to provide businesses with the resources (such as a real estate site finder); information; tools; and technical support to establish, grow, and expand their business in North Central Massachusetts.
