Gainesville, GA – February 5, 2008: The Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce will host the Annual Transportation Forum on Tuesday, February 19 at Gainesville State College, Continuing Education Building, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. The forum is open to the public and helps create discussion with Chamber members, business and community leaders, and transportation professionals to provide a means to stay informed about important transportation issues and projects.

Guest speaker for the February 19 forum is Georgia Department of Transportation District Engineer Russell McMurry. McMurry is responsible for construction, maintenance and overall operation of the 2,300 centerline miles of Interstates and State Routes in Northeast Georgia’s 21-county district. He manages 575 employees and an annual budget of over $26 million.

“Transportation is critical for Hall County,” said Greater Hall Chamber President/CEO Kit Dunlap. “This GDOT Forum will be most informative to all citizens, particularly with transportation being a focus in the State Legislature. This event has become one of the Chamber’s most popular and most attended events.”
