Is Seminole County still trimming funds from the budget? Or has our economic outlook started to turn around?
Join the League for our next Hot Topics luncheon when County Manager Jim Hartmann will discuss his observations on the county’s response to the recession.
The event begins at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 26 at Patio Grill, 2900 S. Orlando Ave., Sanford.
Hartmann, who has been on the job for about six months, will discuss:
- What we did to weather the recession and where we are today
- The importance of investing in quality of life and what Seminole has done
- Future opportunities and challenges
His remarks will touch on economic development, SunRail, funding requirements and technology.
“The best part of our Hot Topics is being able to ask questions of the speakers,” said LWVSC President Pat Graves. “I anticipate a lot of questions for our new county manager.”
Hot Topics luncheons are held on the fourth Thursday of the month. They are open to the public and all interested persons are encouraged to attend.
