To Host Public input Sessions
On State's Cultural and Tourism Industries
HARTFORD, Conn. (November 24, 2008) – The Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism (CCT) will host five public input sessions as part of its information gathering process. Feedback received at these sessions will help shape the commission's new strategic plan for fiscal years 2010 through 2012.
