Funding growth. Fueling jobs. Fostering prosperity.

MEDC provides responsible, affordable funding to businesses throughout Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, Ozaukee, Walworth, Waukesha, and Washington Counties. We focus on job creation and retention, particularly in underserved neighborhoods. Since our doors opened in 1971, MEDC has been a participating lender in thousands of investment projects throughout the Milwaukee 7 region. Combined, these projects have generated more than two billion dollars in new investment and thousands of new jobs. Today, close to half of MEDC’s annual loan investments support minority-owned businesses and more than a third fund women-owned companies.
