Nodine misstated private commitment

Mobile County Commissioner Steve Nodine misstated the private sector’s commitment to economic development. He said it was $10 million commitment over two years.

The program called Partners for Growth is a five-year commitment. 80 Mobile area businesses have pledged $9.24 million over five years. It is run by the Mobile Chamber, not the Mobile County Commission….more like the Chamber proposal than PEDA.

Here is the press release – PFGRelease
