Jeff Kolb updates Lions on Butler County Economic Development

Jeff Kolb, who directs the Butler County Economic Development Corporation, spoke to the Allison Lions on Nov. 16.
Among those listening were Lions Greg Graser and Dale Thoreson, who started the first Butler County Economic Development Corp. when he was ISU Butler County Extension Director in about 1986.
Kolb emphasized that creating and retaining high quality jobs was his main focus. To accomplish this he and the Cedar Valley Marketing Region continuously contact prospective employers for Butler and other counties in the area.
According to Kolb, employers look at a ”broad area” for their labor, transportation and other needs. They are not concerned about county lines.
