This year’s focus will be on economic recovery. I think we would be remiss as a county to not focus on how to continue to help move our region forward, despite the challenges. That means making sure we continue to support our education development, the pipeline of talent but also do our best to coordinate with the county to help small businesses prosper and be part of the recruitment of large businesses to the area.
