MARICOPA — Maricopa city officials and the board of directors for the Maricopa Economic Development Alliance met Wednesday to discuss “MEDA 2.0” — a new direction for the group.
The alliance was founded in 2009 and partners with the city to help further economic development and a prosperous economy for Maricopa. MEDA adviser Ioanna Morfessis detailed how the board had evolved in the last decade into an advisory role, including marketing and promotion for the city.
Eventually it became what it is today, an entity that can generate deals on the city’s behalf to create new business leads and prospects for the city.
