Frischie Announces New Kentland Economic Development Website

New KEDC website introduced.

At the Monday noon luncheon meeting, Rotarian John Frischie (photo) reported on the progress of a website he is creating for the Kentland Economic Development Commission (KEDC).  As a member of the KEDC composed also of John Cassidy, Dave Ryan, and Mel Ward, Frischie's efforts as webmaster are to promote the community of Kentland as a desirable place to live and to do business.  Although there was no access to the Internet in the meeting room, Frischie was able to show with his laptop and a  projector how the KEDC website is progressing.  There were sections that inform about many facets of life in our small community:  Quality of Life, Education, Government, History,  Weather, and a Community Calendar.  Plus there were several other links to local websites, including those of churches and businesses.  Dave Ryan listed his Top Ten Reasons to live in Kentland.  Jenny Washburn wrote an interesting account of the 100 year history of the Kentland/ Jefferson Township Library. Frischie is committed to the project because he likes Kentland, feels it needs to grow, and feels he can help.  Although the website is still a work in progress, by visiting www.kentlandindiana.com you will discover that there is a lot of useful information available.  Frischie has been amazed by the number of people wanting to submit an article or story.  If you are also so inclined, contact the webmaster, John Frischie, at Kentlandnews@embarkmail.com .
