Comprised of local business leaders, government officials and concerned citizens, the South Lawrence Economic Development Association has been established to push for economic advancement and progressive action in the south end of Lawrence County.
The Association, a non-profit organization, plans to work in concert with existing entities, local businesses and government officials to address important issues such as economic development, the quality of education, infrastructure and community enhancement in Loretto, St. Joseph, Leoma, Five Points, Iron City and all other communities in the south end of the county.
At the November 14th meeting of the Association, charter officers and board members were elected. The group elected Harley Simbeck, Sr. as President, Rodney Robinson Vice President, Chris D. Jackson Secretary/Public Information Officer and Steve Kress as Treasurer.
