EDC congratulates McHenry County on receiving the Aaa rating by Moody’s Investors Service which is the highest rating available.  There are 102 counties in Illinois and McHenry County is one of only three to have received this rating.  Pam Cumpata, President of EDC, noted that this financial distinction sets McHenry County apart from the many counties who are struggling with the impact of the economic recession and is a positive factor in helping to retain and attract business. County government leadership and financial stablility will help encourage site selectors as well as our existing companies who are considering expanding.  This achievement, combined with the recognition the county has received through its public works awards and water management leadership, compliments the many private, innovative businesses in McHenry County. These public and private successes help raise the visibility of  McHenry County and ultimately impact our economy.
