Creston Village Board Hears From New OCEDC Director

CRESTON - The Creston Village Board got the opportunity to meet and have discussions with the new Ogle County Economic Development Corporation at the meeting Tuesday night. Executive Director Charlene Coulombe explained the roots of the organization stretching back to 2013, and why Creston was not involved in the early framing of the OCEDC. Last month, village board members expressed interest in joining the corporation. Coulombe said it isn’t about the size of the community, but what your goals are. She said one of her duties is to connect developers with properties that are for sale.
