REMINDER/UPDATE
In our December 20 newsletter we informed you of the recently formed Scenic Byway/Tourism and Economic Development . The committee, in collaboration with the Chamber, plans to create programs which may be very beneficial to all Arlington businesses and residents.
As a starting point, the committee requested business owners to collect zip code data for all of its transactions for the month of December so that it could tabulate and assess the results. If you have this data available, please contact Bob Bowes, bbowes@bowesre.com to arrange collection. All participating businesses will be provided with a copy of the results. |
