About Us
Mission
To revitalize Northeastern Franklin County, with focus on economic growth and development in areas such as the White Level, Wood, Centerville, Gold Sand, Cedar Rock, Red Bud, Alert, Hickory Rock, Oswego, and Justice communities.
As we meet our goals, it makes sense to telecommute, open a business, or support agri-business/agri-tourism in these areas!
