Dave Stratton, Bluffton resident and partner in a Main Street business here, has an economic development viewpoint that covers the entire county. 

As director and CEO of Allen Economic Development Group, he told Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce members on Friday morning that he sees lots of possibilities for the county.

“We are not just for Lima. We cover Bluffton, Delphos, and the Spencerville communities,” he said about AEDG’s outreach.

Adding, “If you have a goal, if you have a need, let us know. We are always looking to advance the private sector in the county.”

To assist in that advancement, at the bottom of this story is a two-page survey Icon viewers are invited to complete and send to AEDG.

Concerning the survey, Stratton said, “We want to hear from citizens of Bluffton.”

AEDG was organized in 1993 and is a part of the Greater Lima Region, Inc. That organization is a 401 c 3 tax-exempt private, non-profit corporation with a strategic focus to redevelop and revitalize the greater Lima, Ohio, region.

In his talk to the chamber, he provided some county and village statistics, which follow in the chart below.
