will enable Okeechobee to discover our problem areas and
weaknesses as far as economic development is concerned. State

possibly the downtown area. Along with the planning for growth
sessions, the Department of Commerce has asked the Chamber if we
would sponsor a program called "Young Professionals in Economic
Development ". A graduate from one of our state universities is
working on his masters degree in Planning and Zoning and will
come to Okeechobee for eight weeks to help develop an economic
development program. The state department has stated they would
like for Okeechobee to have an equal share basis with Glades
County. Glades County has already approved a $525. budget
expediture - Okeechobee County has approved an expenditure of
$325. He asked the City Council to approve an expenditure of
