[MainstreetTowns] Economic Development Authorities

[Lou Sims]

Chelsea

This is Lou Sims, Hobart, and I have been on the Hobart Main Street Board
since we became a member in 2002 and in fact, I was working with the City
and made application for OMS.  From then until now, I have chaired to Hobart
Economic Development Authority and am on the HMS Board since our OMS
membership.  

We work closely in every effort to improve our downtown and businesses.
Just last month we worked together to receive a $25,000 grant for
improvements. The City has always provided a certain amount of financial
support to HMS annual budget. 

You might also consider your County Industrial Development Authority.  I
have been a member of the Kiowa County Industrial Development Authority for
probably a dozen years and we work together on improvements that effect the
County and City and HMS.

Suggestion - If your MS Board does not have any representation on your local
economic development committees/authorities, suggest you consider doing so.

Does anyone have a great partnership with their local economic development
authority?  I'd love to hear about any annual agreements/partnerships you
have, or any projects they help with financially.  Thanks in advance,
friends!!
