The Leavenworth County Port Authority (LCPA) is proud to announce the launch of a new community education campaign aimed at informing and engaging residents on the critical role economic development plays in the future of Leavenworth County.

“Economic development efforts are critical for ensuring that Leavenworth County is ready for growth and competitive with surrounding communities. Economic development creates the opportunities families need today and supports businesses creating the jobs our kids will need in the future,” said Doug Schimke, LCPA Chairperson.

The Campaign will focus on three core areas:

• Value of Economic Development:The campaign will highlight how economic development directly impacts the daily lives of residents through job creation, infrastructure improvements, and expanded opportunities. The campaign will demonstrate how economic development contributes to the prosperity of each community within Leavenworth County.

• Transparency and Accountability:The Leavenworth County Port Authority and the Leavenworth County Development Corporation (LCDC) will provide clear, accessible information on how taxpayer dollars are managed and allocated, emphasizing their roles as independent, responsible organizations. Residents will gain a better understanding of how public funds are used effectively to support long-term economic growth.

• Building Trust and Support:By showcasing success stories and measurable outcomes, the campaign will demonstrate that strategic investments in economic development yield lasting benefits that ultimately create a stronger economy and more vibrant communities for future generations.
  
  

The campaign will include community presentations, informational materials, digital outreach, and opportunities for residents to engage directly with LCPA and LCDC staff, board members, and Community Ambassadors.

“We are committed to transparency, community engagement, and responsible stewardship of public resources,” said Schimke.
