The City of Chillicothe will continue to use the Economic Development Service of Terry Rumery and Rumery and Associates. The Council approved the contract which is a consulting services agreement to work to improve the economic base of the city and surrounding area. Under the contract, the City pays $36,000 a year. That amount is split between The Chillicothe Development Corporation, Farmers Electric Cooperative, and Chillicothe Municipal Utilities, with FEC, CDC, and CMU reimbursing the city $9,000 each.
The amount paid has not increased for several years.
