Trade & Industry Development, a leading magazine dedicated to site selection, has announced its 6th annual CiCi (Corporate Investment & Community Impact) Awards.

The CiCi Awards are unique in that they are a dual-awards program – they not only highlight the largest corporate investment projects, but also recognize those projects that may not involve large investments, but made the most notable impact on communities. The Moberly Area Economic Development Corporation and the Mamtek International project have won a CiCi award in the Community Impact category.
