A Voice and a Vision for Downtown
The Downtown Business Association
The Downtown Business Association and the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce will co-host a "Legislative Luncheon" at noon on Dec. 10 in the newly renovated Rose Room at the Weirton Millsop Community Center.
This annual event will provide the business community, government officials and citizens with an opportunity to sit down and meet with State Senators and members of the House of Delegates from Hancock and Brooke counties in an informal setting to discuss economic and development issues important to our area, government and businesses.
The agenda for the upcoming legislative session also will be discussed. A period of questions and answers will follow. The public is invited to attend.
Admission, which includes lunch, is $7 at the door.
