Letter: Economic Development Luncheon

By Victoria Pike

I am so excited to hear all the good news we were given about the opportunities Adair County has on its doorstep at the EDA sponsored luncheon to help inform local city and county officials what is possible for Adair County if we get in gear and move FORWARD.

It's shocking to hear 4,080 people leave our county to work everyday. I urge all involved to come together and move our city and county forward. I will continue to write articles in support of our county moving forward.
