Buy Local Campaign

buylocal The Wayne County Chamber of Commerce is launching a "Buy Local" campaign aimed at encouraging citizens of Wayne County to shop at home first in an effort to help strengthen our local economy.

I. D. A. Planning For Growth

Even though some economic indicators are showing positive signs, many businesses are not feeling the impact. However, the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) is making plans to be ready when the economy does turn and industry starts implementing long term expansion plans.

In December, the IDA shared their new Economic Development Plan with Wayne County Commissioners. While all of the specific objectives are not fully developed, the plan attempts to take a comprehensive approach to readying our community to attract new businesses, while working with existing business to grow and expand.
