Zanesville Times Recorder NELSONVILLE - Five communities in Southeast Ohio have been selected to take part in Ohio Southeast Economic Development's Prepared Communities Program, including the Village of New Concord and Noble County. The program is a series of five sessions with Ohio Southeast and Bricker and Eckler, a Columbus legal firm. The goal is to help communities plan short-term economic projects that can be implemented in 2021 or 2022. The sessions are a "small step to start talking about what all of the myriad of things that make up economic development in our region," Ohio Southeast Vice President Katy Farber said.
