    In the inaugural episode of Growth Spurts, host Missy Vanderpool sits down with Henderson County Judge/Executive Brad Schneider to lay the foundation for how economic development works at the local level.

    From the fundamentals of economic development to the critical role of collaboration, infrastructure, and long-term planning, Judge Schneider shares how leadership, partnerships, and patience shape a community’s growth. The conversations explore the impact of I-69, why infrastructure investments matter long before results are visible, and how Henderson positions itself for sustainable, future-ready growth.

    This episode sets the stage for the series, offering practical insight into what it takes to build momentum, align stakeholders, and create opportunities that last.
