DeKalb County Commissioner Stan Watson will hold a small business forum later this month, to help local firms learn more about getting involved in the county’s $1.35 billion overhaul of its water/sewer system.

The session will include information about getting bonded and insurance needs for small companies. Work on the project is expected to break ground early next year.

The meeting runs from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13 at the Lou Walker Senior Center, 2538 Panola Road, near Lithonia.
