NORRISTOWN, March 19, 2012 – State Sen. Daylin Leach (D-Delaware/Montgomery) today announced a meeting during which the finalized art for the Norristown Mural Project will be subject to public consideration.

Like I've said before, this mural is a community effort and we need everyone's input to make sure we are all satisfied with the end result."
