The Project 29 Committee held their first meeting since announcing their “Push to Pana” initiative Wednesday afternoon. Mike Bell, the co-chair of the committee, is happy to see the committee expand its efforts for the good of Christian County and its residents.

Bell says the group believes it is important to continue working with local lawmakers and local media outlets.

Bell says he’s not the kind of person to give up on a cause if it is something people want.

The committee will continue to hold its meetings on the last Wednesday of each month, but meetings will now be at 2 p.m. The committee will meet in the community room at People’s Bank and Trust in Taylorville.
