“The partnership's program service accomplishments occurred in three areas, all dedicated to improving the social, educational and economic welfare of the people of edenton and chowan county, nc. All three areas shared in the expenses and revenues of the partnership with some receiving more time from volunteers and others more administrative and overhead support. Specifically, the partnership successfully integrated numerous groups within the county concerned about improving the workforce's education, from elementary through early college; worked with numerous organizations to better integrate planning and execution of their programs to educate the local residents and visitors about the historic role of early edentonians in the fight for independence and the creation of the nation and state; and worked with other organizations and visitors to the area by providing information about economic development opportunities, local workforce statistical data and financing opportunities.”
