Fifth-year LEAD economic development funding
Summary
The county is paying LEAD $500,000 for a fifth year as its economic development partner, betting that business attraction will diversify a tax base that's 82% residential. Commissioner Smith wanted to cut the amount to $250,000 because LEAD hasn't hit its five-year job and wage targets.
