Funds Requested to Keep Local Employers

Imagine what could happen if some of Kosciusko County’s best employers got enticed to leave the area. Hear Kosciusko Development, Incorporated Executive Director Joy McCarthy-Sessing talk about how other communities are trying to lure away Kosciusko County's most lucrative employers. McCarthy-Sessing says other areas are spending a lot more on economic development than Kosciusko County is. Yesterday, K-D-I asked Kosciusko County commissioners for 100-thousand bucks a year for the next four years so the organization can improve its economic development efforts. Commissioners took the request under advisement.
