Osgood Brown Conference Center

I was stunned to learn Saturday evening (Aug. 6, 2005), during the grand opening party for the Elma Microtel Inn and Suites, that the wonderful folks of WSCO Petroleum had named the conference center adjacent to the hotel after Mayor Osgood and me. They also named one of the two meeting rooms for each of us.

I am, of course, very grateful for the recognition, particularly from folks for whom I have such great respect.

Elma's Public Works Director Jim Starks also deserves substantial credit for his work in facilitating the successful siting and construction of the hotel project.
