Montgomery County Receives Update From Chamber

 

The Montgmery County Commissioners received an update regarding the direction of plans of each town's Chamber of Commerce.

 

The commissioners heard from representatives from Cherryvale, Coffeyville, and Independence about ideas and events to increase tourism and make Montgomery County a destination county. Coffeyville Chamber President Candi Westbrook says that an exciting opportunity may be coming with a Napa Valley wine group coming to Coffeyville.

 

Independence is also searching for creative ways to expand tourism and excitement in the area. Chamber President Lisa Wilson says that they have used a large amount of budget on wayward signage, and have received professional opinions on how to become more marketable.

 

Additional items of discussion at the county commission meeting were a broadband update from Computer Department Director Jason Clubine, as well as an executive session with Human Resources Director Becky Lewis.
