The city of Monona will continue to fund Monona Chamber and Economic Development (MCED) at an amount of $12,000 per year, matching the allocation MCED has requested for the past few years.
The city council approved the request at its Oct. 22 meeting, following the quarterly MCED report.
“There’s been a lot of activity going on, a lot of interaction,” said MCED Board President Linda Knockel.
In the past five years, she said MCED has nearly tripled its membership, to 70 businesses.
Fellow board member Justin Birdnow added that 20 more businesses could still potentially be members.
