Many in Guthrie and Adair Counties may have heard of Midwest Partnership, but some may not know what the organization does.

Coordinator Kayla Willms says they are an economic development organization that serves the communities in both counties. She shares some of the things they do.

“We help our local businesses. Whether it be startup companies or even if you’ve been in business for a while, we are here to help. We can help you with grants.”

Willms mentions they also help businesses that may be looking to come into the Guthrie or Adair County area, and to promote the businesses in the counties through social media and other avenues.
