WICHITA, Kan. -- A group of economic advisers assembled by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback will operate as a board of directors for economic development in the state, the Republican said during a news conference Wednesday.
Brownback signed an executive order in Wichita establishing the council, which he will chair.
"The economic future of Kansas depends on the growth of existing businesses and the development of new industries," Brownback said. "Economic competitiveness requires a detailed understanding of regional, national and international conditions and trends."
The governor said the group will work closely with him to assure strategy integration, coordination and accountability across all of the state's economic development entities and agencies. Those would include the ones for commerce, agriculture, transportation, revenue, labor and the Bioscience Authority, he said.
