ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Albany-Dougherty Chamber of Commerce and Department of Economic Development both remain without a permanent director, but they're getting close.

John McDuffie, who is chairing the search committee for the new Chamber of Commerce President, says they've narrowed the list and continue to talk with those applicants.

Right now they're attempting to set up an Executive Committee meeting and the decision could be made a week from now. A national search committee is accepting application for a new Economic Development Director.

It could be several months before someone is named to that position.
