Plan for Muskegon County's economic development growth being designed Friday MLive.com
"A consultant hired by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be here Friday to help the Muskegon community design a road map for “smart growth.”
Muskegon County was one of only 32 communities in the nation selected this year to receive the technical assistance regarding economic development.
The specific program selected for Muskegon County is focused on identifying strategies and policies across all local governmental units to promote business expansion and retention.

The meeting, scheduled for Muskegon Community College's Collegiate Hall, is broken into two sessions.
The public is encouraged to attend the morning session, beginning at 9 a.m., while the afternoon session is geared toward local governmental officials.
By the end of the meeting, the consultant and local officials are expected to create an action plan and look for ways to build community consensus for a course of action involving the community's economic stability."

TOMORROW 9 a.m.!
