Mecosta County Development Corporation is the point of contact for the grant applications for all Mecosta County businesses effected. It has a local committee that will review each application and make recommendations to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). The MEDC will then authorize payment through The Right Place which is acting as the fiduciary for this project. All applications for the MI Small Business Relief grant funding in Mecosta County are to be submitted to Mecosta County Development Corporation jsandy@mecostacounty.org
