MARSHALL Lyon County may be setting more groundwork for a county-wide economic development authority, after action taken at Tuesday’s county board meeting.
County commissioners received an economic development plan created from development discussions earlier this year. Then they voted to form a local committee that could make it possible to establish a county EDA.
Over the past year, county commissioners have been discussing the possibility of forming a county-wide economic development authority. Starting in January, planning sessions were held with representatives from most cities in Lyon County, including city officials and staff from Marshall, Tracy, Minneota, Cottonwood, Lynd, Ghent, Garvin and Balaton.
