HISTORY

Midwest Minnesota Community Development Corporation (MMCDC) began in 1971 when the Mahube Community Action Program obtained funding for a specialty crop program. This money capitalized MMCDC, one of the original generation of CDCs.

MMCDC's service area covers seven counties in northwest Minnesota: Becker, Hubbard, Mahnomen, Clearwater, Polk, Red Lake, and Pennington. MMCDC focuses on creating jobs, diversifying the economy, and developing affordable housing. Its board of directors consists of eleven elected members and one appointed by the White Earth Reservation Tribal Council.
