Most important part of a 'Town Hall' meetingPosted Thursday, December 18, 2008, at 12:49 PM
It's fairly simple that a "Town Hall" style meeting, as is planned for Dec. 30 in Piggott, can't be held without the "town".
The meeting, which is set for 7 p.m. at The Piggott Diner, has been planned to seek input from the public on just where we need to focus our economic development efforts. It's imperative that everyone is represented as our city leaders choose what path to take for the future, and questions are currently being sought. A form is available at most of the businesses in the downtown area, or at city hall. Questions can also be emailed to the mayor at Piggott.mayor@centurytel.net As organizers note, "your attendance will send a strong message to our legislative delegation that you care about this community adn want a voice in how we are represented." A big crowd of concerned citizens always sends a message to elected officials, hopefully there will be a good-sized gathering for the local "Town Hall" meeting on Piggott's future. |
