We <br />feel it is important to develop a trained workforce that will meet regional employer <br />needs and allow flexibility between counties for people seeking employment. We <br />would like to see continued regional coordination and cooperation among the <br />economic development agencies in our counties and local initiatives developed with a <br />regional emphasis. Therefore, we are asking you to support this effort. <br />Enclosed is a resolution that we would like for the Commissioners to adopt at their <br />nem meeting. I will be more than happy to attend the meeting to answer any <br />questions. Please let me know the date that this item will be presented. You may <br />contact me at the above number if you have any questions prior to the meeting. <br />Sincerely, <br />RECEIVED <br />Nan Rose Griggs, <br />SEP 2 2 1997 P, ddent/CEO <br />
