Economic Development

Rural economic development means more than competing with Mexico, South Korea and your neighboring state to provide the lowest wage cost to the biggest corporation.

  • It means building small businesses to serve a growing, diverse community.

  • It means strengthening our education system from the bottom up.

  • It means investing in new technologies and community infrastructure.

  • And it means working together to support our rural economic base – family farms, main street businesses and rural institutions.

Bottom line, public policy should be aimed at creating good jobs, at good wages, in our local communities.
