The EDC (feat. Skip Alford) - #009

Submit a Question! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2588594/fan_mail/new] The Economic Development Council (EDC) is responsible for attracting businesses to Lake Wales in an effort to help Lake Wales citizens get higher paying jobs closer to home. This allows for Lake Wales to reap the benefits of the growth we're seeing in Polk County by keeping more revenue in Lake Wales rather than in our neighboring cities.  Skip Alford joins us to talk about how Lake Wales is trying to capitalize on the growth we've been seeing in the last five years and how we can help attract more visitors to Lake Wales to support our small businesses.
