Highlighting ConAgra Land Donation and Downtown Development
NC Secretary of Commerce to Speak at Dinner
The Garner Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a special half-day conference on Aug. 10 focusing on major developments impacting the town’s economic climate and quality of life. The event, entitled “Plug in the Future,” will allow participants to learn about and discuss important issues such as options for the donated ConAgra property and the latest efforts to revive Garner’s historic downtown district.
Panelists will include Ken Atkins, executive director of Wake County Economic Development, Bo Carson, vice president of research for Research Triangle Regional Partnership, and representatives from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center and Garner Revitalization Association.
“Garner is poised for greater economic success, and this event will connect business leaders, citizens and elected officials together in order to plug in the future that is right for businesses and residents,” said Neal Padgett, president of the Garner Chamber.
In addition to panel discussions, the conference will include plenty of opportunities for networking at a welcome luncheon and a post-conference reception and dinner. The cost for attending is only $49 and includes lunch and dinner.
