Why Your Voice Matters: Our county has faced numerous economic challenges in recent years, affecting jobs, businesses, health, housing, and overall economic stability. This strategy will guide critical investment decisions in infrastructure, public works, industrial and commercial site development, and job-creating initiatives to build a sustainable economic future for all. Get Involved: Online Surveys: Share your input through our online surveys. Your feedback is confidential and crucial for developing a plan that meets our community’s needs.
