BUSINESS FIRST!

Eric Collins from the Montgomery County Economic Development was in attendance to discuss the workings of ‘Business First!.’  This is a group made up of several area communities and counties working together as well as partnering with an economic development specialist.  The primary focus is on retention and expansion of a member community’s existing businesses.  The goal of the program is to provide a single point of contact for a company’s business needs, by identifying resources that are available to assist in that businesses’ success.  The fee for Eaton to join would be approximately $5,500 a year.  With some question to be researched if Eaton should enter into this venture, consensus was overall favorable in considering this association.
