Historically Driven—Forwardly Innovative. Yep, you might have seen this floating around the Facebook and right here at the very top of our stunning and brand new website. Four words packed with a history and future of brilliance for our beloved community…so let the buggies roll.
One of the most endearing aspects about our community is its incredible way of embracing and celebrating its rich heritage; the way it continues to be driven by its beautiful history of being a centerpiece for transportation innovation for the South. And as we learned in 2017 with instances such as the HBO filming, business expansions and relocations like Continental Tire, Zaxby’s moving into town, our small community continues to move forward innovatively—embracing change to make Barnesville and Lamar County a more prosperous place to call home.
Our 2018, will be a benchmark year for the Barnesville-Lamar County Chamber of Commerce and its members. Last year, we painstakingly reached deep into our own history to try and discover how we could drive our business innovation forward for our members in an impactful and mighty way. Technological updates to our website, social media pages, client management system, even our telephone system, and reaching into our strategic planning and other developmental areas, have brought us to a moment where we can finally say—Let’s Do This!
So, get ready, y’all. Business is Priority One. Coupled with the beautiful rebranding of our two benchmark festivals, Buggy Days and BBQ & Blues, we anticipate a year where we will be making the small business and companies in Lamar County that are members of our Chamber Family a top priority and not the exception to the rule. Your investment means something. You will get a return on that investment. Guaranteed.
I look forward to joining together with you this year in investing in our future—our Chamber Family.
Historically Driven—Forwardly Innovative. That’s Barnesville. That’s Lamar County. That’s Us.
