What clients say.... "Atchison County Development Corporation has been a great partner to Community Hospital Fairfax. The Board of Directors and staff have always been willing to help with any information or assistance that we need. Just recently, ACDC worked with us to provide funds for a lift station for the new hospital building. We appreciate their efforts to help us build the infrastructure we need to provide for the future of healthcare in Northwest Missouri." -Myra Evans, Community Hospital Fairfax
"The ACDC provided great service to us in support of our development efforts in Rock Port from concept to construction. From coordinating local and state incentive activities to making sure we understood and had access to all the county services we would need for our project, ACDC time and again proved a valuable resource. We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with ACDC as we bring our project online-and for a long time thereafter." -Paul DeBruce, DeBruce Companies
