Economic development initiative is a first for Rock County
Diane Hendricks is a busy lady, but not too busy to throw her support behind a countywide economic development initiative that organizers say is a first for Rock County.
Rock County 5.0 is a public-private initiative designed to foster collaboration, communication and economic development connections for the benefit of all county communities.
That includes Janesville and Beloit, two cities with a storied history of competition that at times has been downright hostile. Rock County 5.0 will focus on business retention and expansion, new business attraction, small business and entrepreneurship, real estate positioning and workforce profiling.

Great to hear someone is stepping up. We need more efforts like this. Ms. Hendricks, who could easily have rested on previous success, instead has chosen to help the community. Much appreciated!!
