LOCAL POLITICAL AND BUSINESS leaders are pictured together during a fact-finding mission in Jackson County for the Walton County Economic Development Alliance (WCEDA). The group has support from all three mayors and has drawn business, education and political leaders from throughout the county, as well as the support of the Walton County Board of County Commissioners and the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce. The WCEDA has just incorporated, formed a group of directors, made a strategic plan and are looking to hire a director for the group in the future.
