Three Rivers Planning and Development District is partnering with the Union County Development Association (UCDA) and the Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES) to host a job fair in New Albany.

On Wednesday, October 20^th, 30 employers from the New Albany area will gather at Hillcrest Baptist Church to secure future employees. The Job Fair will begin at 10:00 A.M. and will end at 2:00 P.M. The address of Hillcrest Baptist Church is 216 Hwy. 15 South.

All people that are currently receiving unemployment benefits that live in Union County and the surrounding areas will be required to attend the job fair. MDES has mailed notices to those who will be required to attend and failure to attend could impact their benefits.
