Washington County Evaluates Economic Development Since the beginning of 2013, the Washington County Board has been evaluating its role in eco- nomic development. The process started with an economic development workgroup consisting of staff from the cities in the county. They discussed the county's current role in economic devel- opment and what additional items the county could consider to help its cities. In an effort for fig- ure out the role, the County hired Springsted Inc. to develop a County wide economic develop- ment strategic plan. This will be completed through analysis of data collected on Washington County in regards the local economy, business sectors, and several community engagement exercises. The goal of the plan is to have realist recommendation on how the county will be in- volved in economic development. The outcomes will be presented at the League of Local Gov- I ernments Meeting in early 2014.
