First it was the HEALTHNET, and now TBN is launching its brand new Public Works and Energy Section. On Saturday, Jan. 31, the section comes to life and will be accessible from TBN’s front page.
This revolutionary concept and one-of-a-kind news and user resource section will be dedicated to the latest breaking news; information and public works agency listings; energy and utility company contacts; all with links to various public works and energy providers across Southern Maryland.
