Chamber hosts joint meeting to discuss a mounting concern
Arrow Woodard, City of Largo Housing Manager, reports on some of the programs the city is coordinating to assist those affected by soaring housing and rental costs.

Our next Education Fund Scholarship is presented to Lorenzo Guerrero! Lorenzo was chosen as Student of the Month at the Pinellas Technical College. He is enrolled in the Web Development program. He says “Coming to PTC and choosing web development with no prior skills in the field, I've come to love everything about it. I still have a lot to learn, but thanks to the best teacher Ms. Shaffer I know that I am in great hands.” Once he completes the program, he’s planning on getting a job as a web developer and eventually start his own business.
