About MCBT

From September 2016 through February 2018, residents from each of Mercer County's communities participated in a countywide planning process to discover what matters most to county residents. A result of this process is the development of a countywide strategic plan. MCBT is the central organization built to implement the countywide strategic plan and accomplish priority work identified by residents.

The purpose of MCBT is to foster a collaborative culture in Mercer County, where individuals, businesses, organizations, communities and jurisdictions work together to assess resources, identify priorities and implement plans for the benefit of current and future generations of Mercer County residents. Through implementation of the countywide strategic plan, MCBT seeks to build healthy individuals and communities, create vibrant social service and nonprofit sectors and develop stronger and sustainable businesses and economies.
