Stimulus conference at GTCC
Fresh on the heels of Sunday's story about sorting out the stimulus comes this announcement from a pair of local legislators:
Sen. Katie Dorsett, Rep. Adams and Fellow Legislators to host Economic Recovery Summit April 27 at Guilford TechSenator Katie Dorsett (D-Guilford), along with Rep. Alma Adams (D-Guilford) and other members of the Guilford County legislative delegation, will host a summit entitled “Coping During Economic Difficulties: Stimulus Opportunities” on Monday, April 27th at Guilford Technical Community College. The meeting will bring together some of North Carolina’s top officials to discuss ways in which the federal recovery funds may be used to create jobs and grow the economy. They will also share information about how to apply for grants funded by the federal stimulus.
The summit will feature presentations by Dempsey Benton, Director of the North Carolina Office of Economic Recovery & Investment, who is know as our state’s “stimulus czar,” state Transportation Secretary Gene Conti, state Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco and others.
The public is invited to attend.
“The Economy Recovery funds are essential in helping us get out of the recession. It is also important to provide information for residents and organizations in Guilford County so that the stimulus can help us locally. I look forward to an exciting and informative event,” Senator Dorsett said.
