Today Blair County Commissioners will be holding two public hearings. The first one is this afternoon at 2:00 on the proposed creation of a trail, park and recreation authority. The other is at 3:00 this afternoon, regarding the proposed decertification of “Explore Altoona” as Blair County’s tourism and promotion agency. Both hearings are open to the public and will take place in the public meeting room in the basement level of the courthouse in Hollidaysburg. In the meantime, the Board of Directors and staff of “Explore Altoona” issued a statement expressing their appreciation to the 18 municipalities out of 25 in the county which opted not to vote on the issue of decertification of the organization. In order for the commissioners to have been able to move forward with the process, 65% of all municipalities within the county had to agree with the decertification. “Explore Altoona” also expressed appreciation for those who were supportive in advocating for the organization’s retention.
