High Point market board taps Price to replace Moretti as retail representative

HIGH POINT — The High Point Market Authority board today named David Price of


retailer Toms-Price, Wheaton, Ill., as a member to replace Tony Moretti.
Moretti was the retail representative while he worked at Jordan’s in Avon, Mass., but left the store to join La-Z-Boy in a merchandising role.
Market Authority President Brian Casey also said the market will launch a program at the upcoming market, which opens March 26, to have High Point University home furnishings students escort designers and first-time visitors around the market. About 20 students have expressed interest, he said.
He also said the authority hopes to enlist the help of some international students to help with information and translation in the market’s international buyers’ lounge.
Casey said the group continues to work with local hotels on rates, and is considering involving a professional housing management company that would handle market bookings at all local host hotels.
