The Kokomo/Howard County Development Corporation plans and provides funding for the promotion of the economic development of Kokomo and Howard County. The efforts of the KHDC include working with existing businesses in the area of retention and expansion, to keep them in the community and help them grow their businesses. The KHDC also markets the Kokomo area state-wide and nationally as an excellent place to start or expand a business and a great place to live. It networks with other community, educational and government entities to encourage workforce development. The KHDC partners with owners, agents, and zoning and plan commissions to identify potential business sites and buildings to ready them for development. This includes work with local, state, and federal governments on brownfield site development. For more information about KHDC, please visit our web site by following the link listed above. |
