Selma-Dallas County Economic Development Authority held their first Industry Summit last week to offer resources to local employers.
Brenda Tuck, new EDA executive director who started in January, said summits like these are important in rural communities, where she repeatedly hears companies say they need help finding workers, training workers and understanding what programs were available to support them.
Todd and Cindy talk about the summit in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
