E100: Building Medina County's Economic Future
Tuesday, 15 September, 2026
In this episode of The Hub, host Jonathan Overall speaks with Bethany Dentler, Executive Director of the Medina County Economic Development Corporation and Administrator of the Medina County Port Authority, about the critical connection between workforce development and economic development. Bethany shares how Medina County is responding to historically low unemployment, a shrinking labor pool, and the evolving talent needs of its growing manufacturing sector through close collaboration among employers, educators, workforce organizations, and economic development leaders. She also highlights innovative efforts such as manufacturing tours, industry led sector partnerships, teacher and student boot camps, training grants, and AI education that are helping businesses attract, develop, and retain the workers they need while building long term prosperity throughout the community.
