Here is the text from the announcement letter that I received yesterday;
In conjunction with the Southeast Tennessee Development District and SEIDA, Wilbur Smith Associates (WSA) will hold the second series of meetings to further discuss the Corridor K Economic Development study. The first meeting will be held at the Ocoee Whitewater Center in Copperhill on May 15th from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. WSA will be presenting the Draft Corridor K Economic Development Strategy for the Corridor K Study Region and your input is crucial to developing a final ED Strategy for the region. A complimentary light sandwich lunch will be provided, please confirm your attendance so we can plan appropriately for lunch.
Later that same day, another meeting will be held to review and discuss the Draft Corridor K Economic Development Strategy at Southwestern Community College in Sylva, North Carolina starting at 5:30 P.M. An overview of the project will be presented along with the draft strategy; again your input is crucial to the development of a final Economic Development Strategy for the Corridor K Region.
A third meeting will be held at the Cleveland Bradley County Chamber of Commerce at 5:30 P.M. on Thursday, May 17th again to review the Draft Corridor K Economic Development Strategy and provide an opportunity for input and discussion about the draft strategy. Your input is crucial to the development of a final ED Strategy for the Corridor K Region.
The presentation of the Draft Corridor K Economic Development Strategy is a key step in this study. Creating an economic development vision and goals for the future for the Corridor K region is very important in ultimately considering the transportation infrastructure that may be needed to support the regions economic future.
