Joshua board approves full‑page ad in 2026 Joshua community guide
Summary
The board approved purchasing a full‑page ad in the 2026 Joshua community guide (published by the Times Review) to highlight city events, a calendar and business spotlights; cost options discussed were $575 for a half‑page or $850 for a full page.
The Joshua board voted to purchase a full‑page advertisement in the 2026 Joshua community guide, a publication produced by the Times Review that includes an editorial section and a directory of local businesses.
An EDC director reviewed ad sizes and costs: a half‑page would cost $575 and a full‑page $850, and the editorial portion that profiles city events would not be charged to the city. The director said the city has not advertised in this exact format before and proposed that the city’s logo be placed on the publication’s front page.
Directors discussed content ideas for the ad — a calendar of recurring events, photos from recent city functions, business spotlights, and information about programs such as a facade‑grant program — and flagged distribution: the guide is placed at local businesses and made available to residents from a community stack rather than mailed broadly. Several directors recommended including a calendar and a collage of event photos rather than singling out a few businesses.
A motion to purchase a full‑page ad was made, seconded and approved unanimously on the record.
