This is information on Paul Degges, TDOT Chief Engineer, who is scheduled to appear at the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce Kick Off meeting at 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 11, 2007 at the Oakwood Clubhouse.
As I noted previously, Mr. Degges is highly respected and has been very responsive to requests for information etc. by the City of Lakeland
I think Lakeland residents will enjoy meeting and hearing Ed Cole, Paul Degges, and Michael Oakes and urge all area residents and businesses to attend.
