Kosciusko County commissioners approved a request from the Kosciusko Economic Development Corporation (KEDCO) for a portion of the county’s special‑project budget to support business attraction, marketing, organizational memberships and equipment upgrades.

Don, representing KEDCO, told the board the organization has returned to traditional economic development services and is meeting with prospective businesses globally. He presented a packet detailing how the requested dollars would be used and said the organization will report progress quarterly.

A commissioner asked whether the requested amounts were included in the county budget; Don said the funding is in the county’s approved special‑project allocation. A commissioner moved to approve the request; another seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote.

The transcript records a total figure referenced in discussion (the speaker and commissioners mentioned a total near $115,000 and noted $250,000 was in the account) but did not present a single line‑item breakdown in the spoken record. Don said KEDCO will provide quarterly reports on progress.
