The St. Clair County Board of Commissioners voted to withhold funding from the Economic Development Alliance (EDA) pending transparency discussions. The decision came during the board’s first meeting with newly elected members. Commissioner Steven Simasko introduced the motion, following concerns about the EDA’s transparency and recent projects. Residents criticized the EDA for limited access to information. The board aims to make economic development more transparent and accessible to the community. The EDA expressed willingness to address concerns and adapt to changes.
