(LAGRANGE) – More than 90 people participated in four recent focus sessions sponsored by the LaGrange County Community Foundation.

The facilitators of those sessions provided an update on the process Wednesday during a luncheon at the LaGrange American Legion.

Mark Becker says county residents identified the top opportunity they see for the County. LINKC.

Becker says there is strong consensus on the most pressing challenge facing the County. LINKD.

Other challenges are working together to develop shared goals, workforce education and job training, and developing a LaGrange County “brand”.

The Envision process is moving forward with focus group meetings planned with the Amish and young leaders in the county.
