Borough Council To Meet With Local Business Owners

Newtown Borough Council wants to hear from local business owners -- and they’re hoping to dedicate an entire meeting to that conversation

During Wednesday’s Borough Council work session, Council member Mike Sellers said he’d like to extend an invitation to local business owners to talk about how they’re doing and what Council can do to help them thrive in this sluggish economy.

 “I think it’s an obligation on our part to dedicate time to sit down and talk to them,” Sellers said.  “I’m asking Council to dedicate most of a work session and invite business owners to that meeting.”

Council members agreed with Sellers and said they supported the idea.

Council President Julia Woldorf said it’s possible the meeting could take place as early as August. It will be discussed in further detail during Tuesday’s regular meeting, which will be held at the instead of the Chancellor Center.

The regular meeting will return to the Chancellor Center for August, however, the building is getting its floors redone so it is unavailable for the July regular meeting.
