Third Tuesday Business Coffee

Third Tuesday Guest Speaker – Dorsey Hill
Topic Area: Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

Did you know that Mason County is part of Greater Peoria’s Regional Economic Development Strategy? Better yet, do you even know what that means?

If you don’t, don’t worry. On May 20, Dorsey Hill, Economic Recovery Corps Fellow for GPEDC, will be at the Third Tuesday Business Meeting to talk about the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), and more importantly why you should care.

Join to hear how regional planning can shape your efforts and projects in Mason County, and how you can get more involved to ensure your input is accounted for in the next regional plan.
