Economic Development is a team effort aimed at creating jobs and improving the
well-being of communities. Today, successful economic development programs are
broad based efforts which include the attraction of new business and industry,
retention and expansion of existing firms, development of financial and human
resources, as well as public service improvement and overall community revitalization.
Intercounty Electric is working with statewide organizations, The Missouri Department
of Economic Development, University Extensions, and local economic development
organizations to create jobs and improve the quality of life for people in our service area.
