In an effort to employ "openness" in its operation the Industrial Development Commission will hold a series of open houses beginning Wednesday to answer questions and address concerns raised by the public about how the IDC functions and what challenges it faces.
A release from the IDC office said the "intent of the forum is to increase public awareness of the benefit of this program and to receive input on how to improve" it.
Monique Sibilly Hodge, who in her capacity as acting Tourism commissioner serves as the chair of the IDC board, said, "The planned series of open houses have been embraced by the commission as an opportunity and a fulfillment of an obligation to raise public awareness of the IDC program."
The events will kick off promptly at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29 at Palms Court Harbor View on St. Thomas and will continue at 5:30 p.m. Thursday Nov. 30 at Gertrude's on St. Croix.
