N.C. House speaker to visit Hickory

October 28, 2011

N.C. House Speaker Thom Tillis will interact with Catawba County residents Tuesday during a town hall meeting in Hickory.

Tillis will visit the auditorium at Catawba Valley Community College at 5 p.m.

"The speaker will get up and talk for about five minutes about what was accomplished in the last legislative session, likely about jobs and the economy," said Jordan Shaw, a spokesman for the Tillis office. "Then he'll open it up for questions. You ask what you want to talk about, and we'll talk about what you ask."

Shaw said Tillis plans to hold 50 town hall meetings across the state, with a stop in Lincolnton on the schedule Wednesday and a visit to Boone planned for later in November. Town halls have already been held from Wilmington to Mt. Airy and towns between.
