Important Quasi-Governmental Agency Committee Meeting (Postponed)

On Monday, we will be having an important meeting of the Quasi-Governmental Agency Committee.  This committee was formed by the Executive Committee with the goal of helping several agencies transition off of the County Tax Levy.  On Monday, the EDWC (Economic Development Corporation of Washington County) will be presenting a plan they created to remove themselves from the tax levy.

I have always had a tremendous respect for the EDWC and Christian Tscheschlok.  They have brought 2,222 and more than $146 million in wages jobs to Washington County.  They have always been a consummate partner with the County, and I look forward to seeing the solution they have come up with.  The fact that they arrived at their own solution to this issue, and are presenting it to us, is a sign of their professionalism and commitment to the best interests of our County.

The EDWC receives about $97,000 in support from the County's tax levy.


Update: This afternoon's meeting has been postponed, as a couple of Supervisors have schedule conflicts.
