Introductions
Overview of IMCP Designation
Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) is a federal initiative to strengthen the manufacturing sector’s global competitive advantage.
IMCP designation is provided for two years, as of June 23, 2014.
Chicago Metro Metal Consortium is one of 12 “Manufacturing Communities ” in the country.
Receive preferential treatment and consideration when competing for $1.3 billion in economic development funds from IMCP Aligned Federal Agencies.
Get a dedicated Federal Point of Contact to help us access federal funding.
Opportunity to implement a cluster-based economic development strategy focused on metals.
Proactively identify and pursue funding to support our efforts.
Successful leveraging of designation will require full support and active participation of all Consortium members.
Opportunity will be whatever we make of it.
