Screenline Advisory urges regional collaboration, says job‑creating projects are priority
Summary
Consultants from Screenline Advisory told commissioners they favor regional collaboration with the City of Clinton and Chamber of Commerce and prioritize projects that create 30+ jobs. Commissioners discussed workforce and infrastructure implications for rural economic development.
Steve Etcher and John Roberts, representing Screenline Advisory, attended the meeting by invitation to discuss economic development strategies for Henry County and the region. They encouraged collaborative efforts between the county, the City of Clinton and the Chamber of Commerce and said Screenline aims to attract employers that provide more than 30 jobs at decent pay scales.
Commissioners pressed on barriers including infrastructure and workforce availability. One commissioner said rural communities play an important role in regional economic development and asked staff to continue building relationships with municipal partners and workforce programs.
"We are all about regional collaboration," Etcher said, thanking commissioners for reaching out and urging continued coordination with local governments and the Chamber.
