How do you choose which projects to fund?

County-wide unbiased data is collected and analyzed by Missouri S&T as well as results of a community survey. These are combined to create the meat of the Phelps County Focus Report, which highlights blue and red flags in our community; areas where the community is prospering and areas that need assistance. After reviewing the red flag data, projects and initiatives are chosen for funding.
