The ED/GE Program was established by the Montgomery County Commissioners in 1992 to attract jobs and retain the County's tax base, reduce inter-local competition for development, enable the County to successfully compete as a region in national and international markets, and to share the benefits of county-wide economic prosperity among all jurisdictions in the County. Twenty-eight (28) jurisdictions, representing 97% of Montgomery County's population, are members.
ED/GE consists of two components: economic development (ED) and government equity (GE). The program is funded by the Montgomery County Commissioners and with county wide sales tax proceeds for a nine-year period. ED/GE funds are to be used primarily to establish or expand commercial, industrial and research facilities and create and preserve job and employment opportunities.
