collaborate with the villages and it continues to be his goal for the future of Paulding County. He notes, “The biggest and best collaboration right now is the partnership our Economic Development office has with the Paulding County Commissioners. The bridge and road infrastructure, the fiber internet infrastructure, all begin at the top with collaborative forward thinking to make sure these good things are happening.” He adds, “The future can hold great things for the county if we all work together to achieve our shared goals. We need to ask what we can be doing together; putting the municipalities together instead of each one of us thinking individually, as we always have in the past, about how to grow our own village. We need to consider how could we collaborate as a group to do one big project.” As the villages start to work together, the county has had investors come forward and Copsey hopes to keep that momentum going. He shares, “Together we can do something more going forward, and as that takes place, I think it’s going to offer bigger and better opportunities for residential, commercial, and industrial growth in Paulding County.” #TheCooperativeDi erence 401 McDonald Pike, Paulding OH 45879 800-686-2357 www.PPEC.coop PROUDLY PROVIDING OUR NW OHIO AND NE INDIANA COMMUNITIES WITH POWER SINCE 1935.
