I wanted to touch base with you about getting on the County Commission meeting agenda for 9/17 for a quick brief of Cox’s local economic development study. I’d really just like to introduce the study to the commissioners and make sure they all get a copy. This won’t be an “ask” for the commissioners to do anything, just presenting the information to them for their use in future decision making. Please let me know who I need to get in touch with to get on the agenda. Thank you!
