The October 16 session will feature Cheryl Wolfe, Executive Director of the BC Development Authority.

The mission of the BCDA is “The creation and retention of jobs by attracting new businesses, retaining existing businesses and supporting entrepreneurial efforts in a manner that promotes a strong community work ethic.” The organization was established by the Barbour County Commission in 1981.

“Information: Barbour County” is a new imitative of the Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the new series of information sessions is to keep Barbour County citizens informed of what is happening in their community and the activities that impact the community.

“We hope that our citizens will join us as we learn about what is happening in our county and in our area,” says Chamber President Ed Larry. Future topics and guest speakers will be announced in the local newspapers and on social media.
