Potential economic development project “Laser”

The agenda for next week’s meeting of Oconee County Council calls for a private session for the county to talk about the potential economic development project code-named “Project Laser.”  The office of the Oconee Alliance recently said this about Project Laser:  “Existing Oconee firm looking at placing a new business line at either one of these locations—Oconee, Arkansas, Texas or Missouri….We presented our business case concerning why that investment should occur here and we are awaiting next steps.”
