Committee Meeting | EDC - April 9, 2026

The Wayne County Commission's Economic Development Committee met on April 9, 2026, to discuss several procurement and contract-related matters. The committee approved a professional services agreement with HR&A Advisors, valued at $840,000, to assist the county in evaluating public-private partnerships and exploring innovative financing opportunities for transportation infrastructure projects eligible under the US Department of Transportation's Finance and Innovation Act. The discussion included questions about local vendor participation, project staffing, budget allocations for travel and public engagement, and the inventory of county-owned properties to be assessed. Additionally, the commission approved the reappointment of Harolyn Nemo to the Wayne County Housing Commission Board of Directors. A proposed two-year professional services agreement with Bureau Veritas Technical Assessments LLC was discussed but not voted on due to procedural issues and will be reconsidered at a later date.
