A meeting helped connect Allen County leaders with developments in the local area.Â
Businessman John Heaphy was the keynote speaker at the Allen Economic Development Group/Allen County Chamber of Commerce meeting. Titled "Public Officials Dialogue", the event connects leaders with those who are investing into the local community.Â
Heaphy spoke on recent projects coming to downtown Lima, and how it is sparking a revitalization in the area. Ideas were also shared on potential ventures, as well as connections being made to build on potential developments that Allen County could see. Heaphy says that he is glad to be able to speak to local leaders to learn more about the needs of the community.
"I think meeting with this group is a great opportunity, not only for my company, myself and my company but to communicate to these community leaders," said Heaphy. "Maybe a chance for them to ask me questions, but also on the current environment that we are doing business in and things like that."
The public dialogue meetings at the Allen Economic Development Group began back in April of 2003.
