"Got Jobs?"

Message from County Executive Scott Walker:
 Close to twenty Milwaukee County business and community leaders are working together to improve our local economy by serving on an Economic Development Task Force, which was appointed by County Executive Scott Walker. This Task Force will examine current economic conditions in Milwaukee County , and collaborate on creating strategies to improve economic growth and outcomes.

       "Job creation and retention are key issues for our county, " said County Executive Scott Walker.  " In an attempt to define a consistent strategy, I am seeking your ideas on the direction we should take in county government."
      In the next few months, Task Force leaders will address several questions designed to help reshape the county's economy, such as:  In what ways should we improve current economic development strategies?  How should the Community Development Block Grant program and Private Industry Council (PIC) work?  What opportunities exist for the county to work with other levels of government?
