 Spring Roundtables Focus on Transportation & Economic Development in Andover
|
 In March and April, the Merrimack Valley TMA hosted two round table events with Andover Town Manager Andrew Flanagan and Planning Director Paul Materazzo to bring local businesses together for discussions on transportation, economy, and development. This spring's topic was "Transportation & Economic Development - What does your company need to stay and grow in Andover?"
Four people who shaped the conversations are pictured at left: Tom Chretien of Philips, Andrew Flanagan & Paul Materazzo of the Town of Andover, and Ed Mueskes of Schneider Electric. |
