"Economic Summit" Set Friday In Cameron County

Public officials, community leaders, business operators and all those who are interested in the northcentral Pennsylvania economy are welcome to attend an Economic Summit to be held on Friday at Memorial Hall in Emporium, starting at 9:30 am. Cameron County Chamber of Commerce is hosting the session, during which U.S. Congressman Glenn Thompson will discuss federal policies and field questions.
Cameron County, which has the highest unemployment rate in Pennsylvania, faces economic challenges due in large part to the downturn in the domestic automobile manufacturing and wood products industries. Similar factors have affected the economies in Potter and McKean counties. Congressman Thompson will discuss federal economic development programs and welcome suggestions. Potter County Today
