MACC is Awarded The Gateway Development Corporation's
Growth in Prosperity Award for 2006
 

(Friday, November 10, 2006) Blair, NE – Mid America Computer Corporation (MACC) was honored with the Gateway Development Corporation’s Growth in Prosperity Award for 2006. The Growth in Prosperity Award honors a local company and its industry for enhancing economic development and the stability of the county with expansion and/or improvement.

MACC is a billing solutions company that offers a variety of services and front office software to providers of telephone, cable television, Internet, and wireless service. The company has been serving the telecommunications industry for more than three decades.

“This is a tremendous honor for MACC,” said Rod Christenson, MACC’s President. “We’re thrilled that our efforts over the last year have created additional jobs and we have every intention of developing new business which could lead to a continued need for new associates.”

By acquiring new customers and providing outstanding care to existing clients, he said the Mid America Computer Corporation enjoyed the most successful year in its history. MACC added 28 new full-time positions to its operations in 2006 after signing the largest client in the history of the company in November of 2005. As the company has done in the past, Christenson said MACC looked to local Washington County residents first to fill these positions with 79% of its new employees currently living within the county.

“Washington County is filled with bright, hard working people,” he said. “Having this talented local workforce is one of the reasons we believe we’ve been so successful.”

Today, MACC employees 230 people at its Blair facility.
