gets ECDC update Press Release ( Rushville , IN ) The Rush County Economic & Community Development Corporation (ECDC) invites interested parties to participate in the future economic development plans for Rush County through membership on the ECDC Board of Directors. ECDC has come a long way in the last year. The Board has worked hard to complete an Economic Development Strategy - roadmap for future economic and community development efforts. Also, ECDC has established its own identity as a stand-alone organization with its own budget, separate and distinct from the Rush County Chamber of Commerce. The City of Rushville and Rush County Council have contracted with ECDC to provide future economic development services. The new ECDC bylaws establish a " public/private partnership" reflected in the membership of its 2005 Board of Directors. In addition, ECDC now has professional staffing with the hiring of Mark Sloan, Business Specialist in December 2003 and Greg Griffin, Executive Director in August 2004 to work full-time on economic development issues. As mentioned, the new ECDC bylaws establish a " public/private partnership" in the further development of the economic development strategy for Rush County . This includes the financial participation at the $1,000 level for each voting member and $250 for non-voting member of our 2005 Board of Directors. According to Tom Tully, President of the 2004 ECDC Board of Directors, "We want our Directors to be more than members of a volunteer board; we want our Directors to take ownership, to be committed to policy issues, and to assist in guiding the ECDC to achieve the following six strategic economic development goals:" • Housing - Improve the quality and availability of housing throughout Rush County
