START/Rotary Interact Prepares for Leaf Pick-Up |
 It's that time again! The leaves are falling and it's time to start bagging them up.
The START students are selling "Leaf Bag Pick-Up" labels that you can buy for $1.00 each and put on any bag of leaves (up to 60 gallons).
START will be picking up leaf bags each Saturday in November. If you would like them to pick up your leaf bags, simply put the labels on your bags, schedule a pick-up, and be sure to have the bags tied and ready at the end of your driveway by 8 a.m. on the day of pick-up.
Labels are available through START students or at the Depot through the months of October and November. Call the Chamber of Commerce at 885-8166 to schedule a pick-up. |

Economic Development Facts |
Everywhere you go people are talking about the economy, unemployment and many other financial matters. Recently the average wage information for the state of Missouri was released and Henry County is "bucking the trend" of the state of Missouri.
The average wage for the state of Missouri in 2009 was $40,710. This year is it $40,168, showing the state average is down $542. But Henry County has done just the opposite. In 2009 the average wage was $27,855 and 2010 it was $28,870. Henry County was up $1015, making an average differential of $1,557 based on the state vs. the county averages. Numerous other counties in the state had a decrease, which shows we are weathering the storm better then most. |
