We are out of our last map which was published in 2008…advertisers got 5 plus years of advertising for their money. This edition will be very much an electronic, and digital guide as well as a printed map…..we are keeping up with technology.
The 5,000 maps are on target to print next spring, and will be distributed in and around the Chamber service area.
The full-color, glossy community map will feature a street-level community map showing local points of interest – schools, parks, water features, landmarks, tourist attractions, etc. – and county or regional map(s) showing primary and secondary roads and major points of interest. The community map will also include a community profile, which highlights; important phone numbers; listings for community organizations,and information about the Chamber of Commerce to create a useful resource guide for current residents and businesses, as well as a promotional piece for those considering relocation.
