The head of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. (WEDC) dropped by the ribbon cutting at the Encompass child care center in Oconto Falls on June 4 to announce a $250,000 grant for the new facility.
“In a state where, you know, sometimes not everybody agrees on everything, there really does seem to be a coalescing around the idea that supporting child care is economic development,” WEDC Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes said in announcing the Community Development Investment Grant.
