Walhalla OKs economic development incentives

Walhalla is getting an economic development incentive program.  It’s seen as a way to facilitate future development.  Mayor Edwards calls it a tool to position the city in negotiations with those interested in investing in the city.  One provision is that a development plan must be consistent with the city’s comprehensive and master plans.  A seven-page economic development ordinance received first reading last night on a motion by Councilman Lamar Bailes.
