The agenda includes presentations on projects related to economic development, health equity and wellness, environmental stewardship, services for seniors, workforce development, and efforts to reduce racial disparities.
County officials will also receive updates on program reviews and conduct an in-depth assessment of the county budget. The agenda for the retreat will be made available online.
