Business Today

BENTON -- Creative Design Group of Malden will be responsible for presenting Scott County to the world after being awarded the bid to produce the county's Web site.

County commissioners awarded the bid during their regular meeting Aug. 24 accepting as the best bid the group's offer to establish the site for a total project cost of $5,050 plus $60 monthly to host the site.

Funding for the Web site was provided by a $21,500 U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development grant. Scott County is to serve as the model for other counties.

Grant funds will also go toward "promoting Scott County and advertising our Web site address," according to Commissioner Jamie Burger.

Commissioners have discussed billboards on the north and south ends of the county as one option.
