Commissioner Holly L. Davis Selected to Serve on National Association of Counties Community, Economic & Workforce Development Steering Committee

“I’m sincerely excited to be appointed to a national committee, to help shape topics that end up significantly affecting us in Citrus County. So much is out of our control, and our local voices must be heard. Because of my career, economic development is near and dear to me, and we need affordable housing and workforce development to make this happen. So for this appointment, my initial push will be to find out what we can do at the national level to fix the ‘benefits cliff’, which keeps low-wage workers from advancing in their jobs, and look for ideas on increasing affordable housing locally,” says Commissioner Davis.

The Community, Economic & Workforce Development Steering Committee (CEWD) is responsible for all matters pertaining to housing, community and economic development, public works, and workforce development including the creation of affordable housing and housing options for different populations, residential, commercial, and industrial development, and building and housing codes.

The National Association of Counties (NACo) unites America’s 3,069 county governments.  Founded in 1935, NACo brings county officials together to advocate with a collective voice on national policy, exchange ideas and build new leadership skills, pursue transformational county solutions, enrich the public’s understanding of county government and exercise exemplary leadership in public service.  Learn more at www.naco.org
