The Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center Board of Directors hosted eight industry outreach meetings across the State from February – July 2009 to update growers and vintners on the status of the Clore Center project. Most importantly, industry members aired their concerns and shared their expectations. This input was included in the revised business plan and operating budget.

Please join Clore Center Board members and fellow industry representatives for a top line look at the revised business plan and five-year operating budget, an update on construction plans and funding.
