Montcalm County

Situated northeast of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Montcalm County boasts a unique mix of agricultural expertise and manufacturing prowess. Combined with a talented workforce, more than 200 inland lakes and quaint, historic communities, it's not hard to see why people choose Montcalm County to live and do business.

Montcalm County is a well-known destination for recreational tourism in West Michigan. Its abundance of natural resources draws families from all over the region for fishing, swimming, and boating in the summertime, as well as its 10+ golf courses, parks, and trails. Montcalm County also houses a portion of the Fred Meijer Heartland Trail, a 42 mile paved trail open year-round for non-motorized use.

Due to its strong agricultural presence, the community is also a popular place in the fall months for U-Pick activities for people of all ages.

Montcalm Economic Alliance

In January 2015, the Montcalm Economic Alliance re-energized its organization and partnered with The Right Place, West Michigan’s leading economic development organization, to provide economic development services for Montcalm County.

This partnership greatly enhanced the Alliance’s capabilities, bringing new support and services to Montcalm companies. The county is now a regional player in West Michigan, with access to a wide variety of economic support.
