BOARD MEETING
The theme of the February 2014 County Board Meeting could be described as investing in the future. We not only welcomed a local Chamber of Commerce Leadership Academy to our meeting, but then took our first vote of the night to fill the vacancy (in District 1) on our Board. I am excited to work with Joe Wolfe, and also welcome him to our Board.

Additionally, the Board considered and approved:
1) a one-time request for supplemental funding for the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission. We have several board members who serve as Commissioners for this body, and our Board's vote allows Tazewell to join Peoria and Woodford County in expressing support for the body to renew its focus on obtaining state and federal funding for transportation, planning, and water resources; and
2) approved a formal policy that the County will follow when extending economic incentives to businesses seeking to establish or increase their presence in our area.
