City to hold entrepreneurial Q&A tonight

by Malcolm Butler

The City of Ruston continues to grow in leaps and bounds.

And on Thursday night, Ruston Mayor Ronny Walker and various city officials will be on hand for a entrepreneurial Q&A session at the old Historic Fire Station. The event will start at 6:30 p.m.

“It’s a time for people who are thinking about opening a business or who have a business and they want to talk about expanding … it’s a time to get together with city officials,” said Walker. “We will have planning and zoning there. We will have public works there. I will be there.”

Publicized as “Dream it! Do it! Ruston!”, the event is free and open to the public. The Historic Fire Station is located at 200 East Mississippi Avenue.

“We just want to talk to people who have a dream of opening a business here, and see if we can answer there questions,” said Walker. “We want to encourage them. This is an entrepreneurial-type setting. Hopefully we can give them some answers but also encourage them to open their business.”
