Local business leaders and officials attended a "Business After Hours" event this week at Frontier Communications offices in downtown Norwich. The event was sponsored by Commerce Chenango as a networking gathering to bring community people together in an informal atmosphere.

President and CEO of Commerce Chenango, Steve Craig, pictured above, said that in today's electronic culture, these events allow business owners to meet face to face to exchange ideas.

Frontier Communications has added hundreds of jobs at its service center in Sherburne and is expanding that facility.
