Stuart and surrounding residents interested in learning about preservation-based downtown revitalization are welcome to attend an event being hosted by the Stuart Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber is holding a Lunch and Learn this Thursday from noon-1 p.m. at the Country Kitchen restaurant. Country Kitchen Manager Ryan Morrison will be sharing information from the 2019 Iowa Downtown Conference that he attended recently with some other Chamber members. The Conference was hosted by the Iowa Economic Development Authority and included two days of educational sessions presented by industry experts and internationally recognized speakers. This event is open to the public. Lunch is free for Chamber members, with a fee for non-Chamber members. For information and to RSVP, email Brenda Dudley at stuartchamber@aol.com.
