–Efforts are under way to prepare a workforce talent survey.

–The Chamber will host a reception for businesses again this year at the AUSA convention in Washington D.C.   That is scheduled in October. The purpose is to hopefully attract some interest in Geary County from businesses and industry in the nation’s capitol.

–The new economic development commission web site is expected to be up and live September 1st, but information will still be placed on the web site after that date. There will be a formal kickoff for the web site in mid-October.
