NEDC Would Like To Hear From You
Survival tactics for rural communities are challenging but attainable. Economic development endeavors need to become more creative to attract and keep people. The Napoleon Economic Development group is taking an aggressive stance to prepare the community for the challenges to come. Their goals to promote new business development while supporting existing businesses require support beyond the seven-member board that makes up the committee. The NEDC requests all residents, alumni, or other associates to assist in their endeavors.
