Donnie Caughman, Executive Director of the Simpson County Development Foundation, shared some information with me. I was quite interested to see how Simpson County ranked in numbers and percentages.
Our Development Foundation is a world of knowledge. If you have questions about employment in our county, contact Donnie. If you need information about Simpson County, contact Donnie.
We need to strive to get these numbers where they need to be.
