It’s the time of year where we all take a moment to reflect on our goals and lives. For me, this reflection has focused on the importance of community.
The word “community” is a warm and fuzzy concept, yet it’s one that has real and lasting implications for us all.
According to experts, the economic development field has become increasingly tied to the communities it serves. Public perception has also morphed, with many people no longer viewing us as an agency that focuses solely on development and building.
While we continue to encompass these things, economic development is now much more than that. It’s about providing low-interest loans and grants to help small businesses grow, diversify, and launch.
It’s a network of partnerships at all levels of government and community organizations that work together to connect businesses with the resources they need to achieve their full potential.
One of the most important ways for Adams County to continue to grow and thrive is to strengthen its partnerships with the community. This is where we come in.
The Adams County Economic Alliance is working to connect local businesses with state and federal loan programs to help facilitate their growth.
We are also launching a new homebuyer assistance program in 2024, offering comprehensive support services to help first-time homebuyers.
These are just a few examples of the initiatives that are working to build stronger communities in Adams County.
And if you’re an Adams County business owner, entrepreneur, or farmer looking for support and resources to help you take your business to the next level, we encourage you to become an Alliance Investor.
By investing in our community, we are supporting the growth of small businesses, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those around us.
