Economic Development Office

The Economic Development Partnership
In 1994, the City and the Chamber entered into a formal agreement to hire an Economic Development Coordinator. The Economic Coordinator is available to act as an advocate for businesses with planning and permit issues, land and lease acquisition, and expansion or relocation questions. Prospective new companies have benefited from the hospitality and services of this office.
