The M.E.D.C. is looking forward to introducing ourselves, providing educational opportunities and sharing resources with the many amazing minority business owners in the greater Rocky Mount Area. We want to know who you are, what you need to be successful and how the M.E.D.C. can be of service to you. Exciting days are ahead!"
