A representative of the Sawyer County Economic Development Corporation updated the board on outreach and organizational changes, saying he is about six weeks into the role and working on outreach, branding and grant implementation.
The representative said the organization has filed a DBA to operate as "Sawyer County EDC" while larger incorporation changes await finalization tied to grant paperwork.
