We are extremely excited to visit Mercer County again this Friday, April 10, 1pm - 5pm for the Southern WV Regional Summit. If you live anywhere near Princeton, WV, or would like to take a brief trip to find out what this creative community stuff is all about, we encourage you to attend.
Mercer County, including its two main cities of Bluefield and Princeton, is a true creative community in development. Lead largely by a budding arts community, Mercer County is proving how creative approaches to building "quality of place" can spur on economic development in a downtown area. It's just the beginning towards an amazing transformation and a great model for all of West Virginia.
Here are some details about the event. We hope you can make it!
