Findlay-Hancock County Economic Development has started using a partnership with Cornerstone Consulting to help out local manufacturers.

Economic development director Tim Mayle says that the partnership helps businesses get back on track.

The consultants will go in and point out areas that can be streamlined or cut back.

Mayle adds that economic development will cover the bill for the consultants and then the business will pay it back when they’re back in the black.

According to Mayle, local businesses aren’t the only ones interested in the plan. Honda has expressed interest in how it works and asked to receive updates and stats.
