Where We Are Going

We have a unique opportunity to refocus our efforts and drive Great Bend's economic growth. Maintaining robust relationships within our local network, including Great Bend's city officials, Barton County administration and Commission, Great Bend Economic Development Inc., the Convention and Visitors Bureau, and both education and healthcare partners, remains a vital aspect of our strategic direction.
 
Equally important is our collaboration with state and federal delegations, amplifying our voice for Great Bend and Barton County. With a strong commitment to enhancing engagement among young professionals and fostering innovative partnerships that retain both people and businesses, we are dedicated to leveraging the unique spirit of Great Bend to realize our shared vision for the future.
