Dr. Abelardo Rodriguez of the University of

and Rural Sociology has been cooperating
with rural economic development
professionals, county extension faculty and
citizens to build a county and regional
economic models for the three central Idaho
counties. Dr. Rodriquez will be in Arco on
Monday, May 23rd to review the
first iterations of the county and regional
model. He will also be spending some time
in Lemhi and Butte Counties. The models are
being developed in cooperation with local
