Strategic Plan: Part II - Economic Development

In follow-up to last week's post regarding Robertson County's Strategic Plan, here is the 'Economic Development' portion of the plan.

I am in the process of securing the updates and suggestions generated out of Monday's meeting, and I hope to share those as they come in. With that said, there were not any significant changes to these goals.
