Rugby Job Development Authority, Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau will be hosting “What’s on Your Mind?,” a discussion and luncheon for community and business leaders in the area on Tuesday, September 12, from 11 a.m. 12:45 p.m. at Dakota Farms.

The luncheon will include special guests, Souris Basin Planning Council board members, who are visiting as a part of a seven city tour to get a better understanding of the unique needs and concerns of the communities in which they serve.

This event is modeled to help community and business leaders gain a better perspective of our community’s evolving needs and share ideas on how the JDA, Chamber and CVB can better meet those needs.

Topics to be discussed include housing needs, home and community services such as daycare and a counseling center, a community center/multipurpose facility, community education programs, annexation of business along HWY 2 going west and what infrastructure is needed, and outdoor recreation, among other discussion items.

Soup and sandwiches will be provided.
