GREAT BEND TRIBUNE Cooper attends Heartland Economic Development Course Sue Cooper, Barton County Grant Coordinator
Sue Cooper, Barton County Grant Coordinator, was one of 170 professionals to attend the Heartland Economic Development Course (HEDC) in April. Heartland attendees receive fundamental economic development training on topics ranging from quality of life, business and development funding, site selection, business retention and expansion, and workforce development.
This training opportunity was made possible through a donation from Midwest Energy Inc.
“Midwest understands the importance of economic development to the region’s vitality, specifically when it comes to site selection and utility availability,” Cooper stated. “Collaboration is critical to sustainability and fosters public-private partnerships, and we are grateful for their continual investment in our area.”
