Two Delaware County commissioners went to Italy recently and returned with commitments from three Italian companies to invest in Delaware County. According to a press release from the county's economic development office, the Italian firms reached agreement with commissioners Shannon Henry and James King during an October visit.

Henry, who is president of the commissioners, said the agreements could involve economic incentives by the county. He said the particular incentives offered to companies are determined by the specific needs of the business. The State of Indiana also offers incentives.
