My visit to Union County last week brought me to Liberty, where I had an intimate meeting with local economic development leaders.
The group was full of good ideas and questions about how to partner better with state government. We talked about a wide range of issues, from the services at the BMV to the city’s downtown area, where construction is underway on a number of buildings. When their work there is done, Liberty will have an outstanding hub for business and community events. The mess of construction may be a necessary evil, as they put it, but it will be a huge asset for years to come.

Liberty and Union County are already great places to visit. Home to Whitewater State Park and the beautiful lake there, it is a great destination for travelers who want to see the state and get great value close to home. It’s clear that tourism and agriculture are natural strengths in the local economy, and I’m proud to see Union County leaders building on what they do best even as they look for new ways to grow.
It’s clear there are some solid plans taking shape for the future, and I look forward to seeing the continued growth of Union County.
