Serv. _ 0 <br />Risk Mgt. <br />Other <br />Economic development has become one of our county's most talked about — and least <br />understood — issues. Because it is an issue important to the entire community and its future, the <br />Chamber of Commerce has organized an Economic Development Tour to familiarize local citizens <br />on the subject and hopefully address any concerns they may have. <br />The purpose of this letter is to invite you and other local government leaders as our guests <br />on the first planned tour. The three-hour program will begin at our Chamber offices at 8:30 am <br />on Friday, May 16 with a continental breakfast and orientation by Community Planning Director, <br />Bob Keating. We will then embark on a tour of industrial development sites around the county <br />including stops at two companies, NylaCarb and XLVision, the county's second largest industrial <br />employer. Milt Thomas, our Director of Economic Development, will act as tour guide on what <br />should prove to be an interesting and informative program. We will return to the Chamber before <br />noon. <br />We will travel in air conditioned comfort on a Community Coach van provided by the <br />Council on Aging. Members of the press will also attend, as well as non-government community <br />leaders, depending on availability of seating. <br />We look forward to having you join us. Hopefiilly, the experience will help you to answer <br />constituent's questions and lead to more constructive dialogue about economic development, <br />which will profoundly impact our county's future. <br />Please R.S.V.P. to Jackie Watters at the Cham r, 567-3491 by Friday, May 9. <br />Serel , <br />Penny Chandler <br />Executive Director <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION <br />1316 21st Street - P.O.
