Getting Down to Business
The retreat will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at the Black County Chamber of Commerce, located at 711 Bladen Street. During this three-day event, city leaders will tackle several key topics that directly impact the community’s future.

One of the most pressing discussions will center around the status of capital projects that are currently in the works, as well as identifying any emerging capital project needs for the future.
