“The Commissioners’ Conversation evenings follow previous county government information events including ‘On the Road’ Commissioners’ Meetings and the Chester County School of Government series,” said Becky Brain, County Communications Coordinator.  “The events give Chester County residents the opportunity to meet with all three County Commissioners to ask questions about county government programs and services that relate to everything from health, safety, open space and population growth to jobs, housing and the County’s many parks and trails.”

The August 12^th “ice cream and conversation” event at Chester Springs Creamery is free but limited to the first 150 people who sign up.  To sign up, go to www.chesco.org/icecream.
