DELPHOS — More than 30 Delphos Area Chamber of Commerce members learned there could be a few surprises in store for Allen and Van Wert counties this year as far as economic development. Commissioners and economic development heads spoke at a meet-and-greet Wednesday at a noon luncheon and answered questions about their respective county’s prospects for growth.

Van Wert County Commissioner Thad Lichtensteiger said his county was poised on the edge.

“The county has a lot of energy for economic development both individually and corporately right now. This could be a new age for Van Wert County,” Lichtensteiger said.

County Economic Development Director Cindy Leis agreed, “We have a lot of projects available,” she said. “We have a 1,600-acre mega-site ready to go.”

Allen County Commissioner Cory Noonan said his county was also focusing on economic development.
