EMERSON SETS MEETINGS ON AREA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson will hold two economic development meetings in Southeast Missouri this month with business and community leaders.

The first meeting will be held Oct. 14 at Southeast Missouri State University's Glenn Auditorium in Dempster Hall.

The second will be held Oct. 15 at the South Central Ozark Council of Governments office at the West Plains Regional Airport in Pomona.

Both meetings will run from 9-11 a.m.

The meetings are an opportunity for Emerson to hear from her 8th District Congressional Business and Economic Development Advisory Team. The team held its first meetings in May.

Emerson, R-Cape Girardeau, said the meetings are open.
