Young Professionals to Be Honored

Young business and community leaders will be the guests of honor Tuesday night as the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual "30 under 30" celebration.

“We are more than delighted to recognize these well-deserving young people for their diligence and dedication.  These young professionals are a great example of our future,”  said Robert Bontempi, Huntington Chamber chairman.
