Business in Polk County is struggling, and it is probably because entrepreneurs lack corralling forces and a common vision. Why, some stupid inventor might try to build his shop on the wrong side of town! Then again, some idiotic policy analyst would probably prepare a plot of economic development vs. central planning and forget to multiply the slope by (-1).

Polk County Commissioners are trying to pave the way for how the county develops new businesses, grows existing businesses and stabilizes struggling businesses by creating an economic development policy and strategic plan.
