Appreciation Luncheon 2011 smallMarion, IN - The Grant County Economic Growth Council is honoring over 70 businesses in Grant County for its thirteenth time on March 5th at the Annual Appreciation Luncheon. The Luncheon's purpose is to honor the businesses in Grant County who have invested $25,000 or more in their business and community for 2011.

As a part of the Growth Council's mission to "facilitate investment and reinvestment for job creation and retention," the Appreciation Luncheon gives them an avenue to appreciate the businesses that are responsible for the growth Grant County is and has experienced economically. With over 300 million dollars invested in 2011, the Growth Council celebrates the overall investment of 2 billion dollars over the past thirteen years of Appreciation Luncheons.

The program was started thirteen years ago by the suggestion of Jim Marcuccilli, president of Star Financial Bank, and executed by the Grant County Economic Growth Council. Star Financial Bank has continued to sponsor the luncheon along with the Growth Council.  The Growth Council along with the support of Star Financial Bank considers it their privilege to sponsor and host the event to honor and appreciate the businesses that have facilitated investment in Grant County.
