Our Local Miles City And Custer County Organization…
The Miles City Area Economic Development Council was formed in 1992 by a group of community leaders for the purpose of providing support for local businesses, direction for new business development, support for continued improvement to the community infrastructure and in general assist in creating a positive business climate for economic development with the goal to make our community and surrounding area an appealing place to live, work, play and prosper. We work closely with Southeastern Montana Development Corporation to provide business planning and funding assistance for businesses that will lead to job growth and job retention in the Miles City and Custer County area.

Our Regional Economic Organization...
We are a group of concerned counties and communities in Southeastern Montana who came together to provide local financial support for economic development. The group formed the Southeastern Montana Development Corporation (SEMDC)and has been providing services since July 1997. This joint participation of counties and communities allows for synergy and prevents duplication of efforts, while providing a vehicle agency located locally to receive funding and administer services for economic development.
Current supporting members of the Southeastern Montana Development Corporation, contributing $1 per capita annually are Custer, Powder River, Rosebud, and Treasure Counties; the cities of Colstrip, Forsyth, and Miles City; and the towns of Broadus and Hysham.
