St. Clair County Cuts EDA Funding

In St. Clair County, government has cut ties with the Economic Development Alliance, a group that helps bring jobs and businesses to the area. The county board stopped giving the Alliance its yearly $310,000 because they felt the group wasn’t open enough about its work. This decision, made in a quick meeting, might cost two jobs soon. The Alliance says it needs to keep some talks private to attract companies, but the county wanted everything public. Now, folks wonder how this split will affect new businesses coming to town.
