Industry & Business
The first of several economic/business summits was hosted by Jefferson County Growth Association, Jefferson College and the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) when manufacturing plant and engineering company representatives were invited to discuss their needs. Strategic leaders, human resource officials, and other representatives from manufacturing/engineering provided input on key areas:
- Talent Attraction

- Educational Attainment
- Plant Expansion
- Broadband Access
- Riverfront and Waterway Access
- Roadway Infrastructure

Jefferson County Growth Association will continue to partner and convene additional business summits throughout the year, engaging different segments of the community, i.e. small business and community resources. Discussion from business owners and service providers will help us develop and put in place plans to streamline services, and support and promote existing and new organizations and industries and their growth.
