The Miles City Area Economic Development Council (MCAEDC) was formed in 1992 by a group of community leaders for the purpose of providing support and direction for existing business and new business development, support for continued improvement to community infrastructure and in general assist in creating a positive business climate for economic development as well as an appealing place to live, work, play and prosper. The group formed a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization in 1996 and today is a very active organization with an active 21 member Board of Directors made up of a broad spectrum of community leaders. We also work closely with Southeastern Montana Development Corporation, who provides 40% of our funding, to provide business planning and funding assistance for businesses that will lead to job growth and job retention in the Miles City and Custer County area.

The group formed SEMDC and has been providing services since July 1997. This joint participation of counties and communities allows for synergy and prevents duplication of efforts, while providing a vehicle agency located locally to receive funding and administer services for economic development.Current supporting members of the Southeastern Montana Development Corporation, contributing $1 per capita annually are Custer, Powder River, Rosebud, and Treasure Counties; the cities of Colstrip, Forsyth, and the towns of Broadus and Hysham.
