“We are excited to be a partner in Maximize NWMO. We believe that the best way to improve the region's economy is to build upon the strengths and talents of each community and work together to provide a strong backbone for existing and new businesses to thrive," said Joe Lear, former NW regional director of MU Extension. "We also believe that this can be a way to enhance the existing quality of living that exists in NW Missouri and help to promote the region as a great place to live, work, and create new opportunities for yourself and others."
