According to FindMeHere.com this is the process that begins when a community prepares itself to accommodate the retention, startup, location, or expansion of an enterprise. Economic development occurs when a local economy is vitalized by the creation of one or more jobs, an increase in community wealth, or the useful distribution of capital that arrives from outside sources. In this way, Ashley officials have been working with DeKalb and Steuben County Economic Development Partners to develop new job opportunities by attempting to attract new businesses to the community.
