Agriculture & Agribusiness

It must be emphasized that, while it is not a specific competitive or developmental target sector, agribusiness is a foundation of the community and woven throughout many of the sector. It is a unifying theme between the community's Manufacturing, Transportation and Distribution, and Travel and Tourism targets. It represents the community's past, present, and future identity, yet many residents have expressed a desire to see the community's economy continue to diversify in ways that are not necessarily tied to the community's agricultural, agribusiness, and agritourism roots.
