What’s the Status of County Funding of MIDC in 2026?

We still don’t know the full story. Despite multiple inquiries and a public records request, the County has not provided clear information about whether the Maryland Israel Development Center (MIDC) will receive funding in 2026. We do know it has been moved out of the County Executive’s budget under the guise of being “more competitive.” Our approach is to welcome the move—but also to push the Council to publicly acknowledge it t as a moral issue. So far no county councilmember has and this is a chance for them to do the right thing.
