Open for business
The Morris County Collaborative (MCC) is opening its building for business! The MCC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with several healthcare providers and organizations to provide healthcare, senior citizen resources, education, job skills training, and certifications. The schedule will change each month. Our goal is to give the Morris County residents closer access to services they find hard to get to due to lack of transportation or money. The services are free and transportation can be provided by calling 430-226-9100.

Census data shows that Rockwall and Liberty counties closed out the top three, with growth rates of 6.5% and 5.7%, respectively.
