(Updated: Thursday, January 21, 2010, 1:52 PM)

USDA Rural Development State Director Dr. Glenda Humiston announced today that the state office in partnership with Madera County Economic Development Commission will hold a county-wide roundtable on job creation and economic growth from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, Jan. at the Madera County Department of Social Services located at 700 E. Yosemite Avenue.

“This forum will provide an opportunity for residents, business owners and community leaders across the state to share ideas on creating jobs and improving economic opportunities,” Humiston said. “Government can help lay the groundwork for economic growth, but the best ideas for continued growth and job creation often come from local leaders. I look forward to hearing these ideas and sharing them with the Administration.”

The roundtable will include business owners, residents, state and local officials, union members, non-profit organizations, community leaders, economists and other interested parties.
