This month’s smallwander.com conference call on August 31 will focus on small towns’ efforts to fund train depots. Many towns have received approval to get new rail stops. Access to trains will help commuters as well as long-distance travelers, as people begin to finally look harder at alternatives to automobiles.
Guest speakers will be Lee Moritz, member of the Conover City Council, Donald Duncan, Conover Town Manager, Bob Barbee, chairman of the Oakboro Regional Historical Museum, Larry Branch, Oakboro town administrator, Elizabeth Read, Executive Director for The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough, and Greta Lint, tourism consultant and writer specializing in small town promotion.

The 10 am call is free and open to the public. You can either listen via the web, or dial in by telephone. Click here to register and I’ll send you the dial-in/webinar access information.
