I am a member of the Cuming County Economic Development Committee. We are working to establish a County-Wide Economic Development Office to serve the residents of Cuming County.
The Cuming County Board of Supervisors are interested in providing a large share of the funding required for the Cuming County Economic Development Office. They are waiting to see if the four towns in Cuming County approve an interlocal agreement to support the office.
Wisner has already approved the agreement. On Friday, the West Point City council voted to sign the interlocal agreement for countywide economic development with the condition that all other communities also sign it.
Members of the Cuming County Economic Development Committee will meet with Beemer on Oct. 12th at 7:00 p.m. and Bancroft on Nov. 2, at 7:00 p.m. I would appreciate the help of Bancroft residents to support the program by encouraging Bancroft Village Board members to vote yes to sign the inter-local agreement. This has the potential to have a positive impact on future jobs in Cuming County and the surrounding area.
