Welcome to the Community Development (CD) Department of WSOS. The betterment of communities and all of their essential components results in better lives for people, and that is our goal. We help local governments assess the needs of constituents, plan for the best use of limited resources, then acquire the resources to develop priority projects. |
 |
| A community's employers provide a large share of the tax base necessary for public services as well as jobs and income for residents, and we work to assist them as well. |
|
| The two-fold focus of the CD department is thus upon community betterment and economic opportunity. Serving this purpose has led to several distinct lines of business. |
