Georgetown mayor to guest on National Public Radio show Friday morning
Published Thursday, March 04, 2010 9:56 AM
Georgetown Mayor Jack Scoville will be one of the guests on Friday morning’s edition of The Takeaway, a news program on NPR Radio.
Scoville said he will join a panel of other mayors whose towns have lost industry recently. The interview comes on the heels of an article that appeared in USA Today this week which lists Georgetown as one of the places that may be turning into a ghost town because of a loss in the industrial field.
“We definitely are not becoming a ghost town and I resent that characterization,” Scoville said, noting International Paper shows no signs of closing and the area has a thriving tourist industry.
The Takeaway can be heard starting at 7 a.m. Friday on WHMC, 90.1 FM out of Conway.
