The Voice of West Feliciana Business

Greetings - June 10, 2008

Summer is here and the chamber office is busy. There is so much going on in the community- bridges, highway expansion, businesses inquiring about developments, not to mention structural changes on Highway 61 and new businesses opening. The calls to the chamber office are numerous with a broad variety of questions about West Feliciana and St.Francisville. With the high gas prices, the calls for information from travelers that are planning a visit for vacations, along with people who will be staying here while working on the bridge or the highway expansion are high in volume.

Businesses who are members of the chamber are referred to daily. The membership lists are kept close at hand so information is readily available for each call. People who are moving to the area inquire frequently and they seem to like the personal touch of being able to speak to someone about what businesses have to offer. The chamber website is regularly advised for information. This benefits businesses who advertise in the "business directory".
The chamber's board consists of people in various businesses that work diligently to make the chamber a resource of information for businesses and individuals. These individuals give their time and business experience so the community and economic growth can continue. These are great people to work with and always have the community as a priority.
Happy Father's Day to all dads! If you are looking for something to do this weekend, St. Francisville has it! So stay at home, save your gas, and give dad a relaxing weekend.
