MONTGOMERY — It's been three weeks and two days since a tornado struck parts of Greater Cincinnati, and as cleanup efforts continue, Montgomery residents have been invited to attend a town meeting Tuesday for an update on the recovery.
Montgomery was one of several areas hit by the twister along with nearby Blue Ash; Symmes, Sycamore and Deerfield townships; the western Hamilton County towns of Ad dyston and Hooven; and parts of southern Indiana .
Four people were killed, more than 40 others were injured and more than 100 homes were damaged in the April 9 disaster.
Held by Pro Montgomery, a citizens group, the forum will feature Mayor Richard Tuten, who will report on the devastation, according to Mary Lou Rose, who will moderate the meeting.
“It goes without saying that people are interested in tornado recovery,” Mrs. Rose said. “Our goal is citizen participa tion in our government, and here is the perfect opportunity.
“We all hear things and read things, and this is an opportunity for people to find out for themselves,” she added. “The mayor was out there all the time, as were council members and city staff. This has been a real interesting experience because it has brought the city together in many ways.”
The forum will take place 7:30 p.m. at the Universalist Church, Remington and Montgomery roads.
