Resident pitches TV public-service campaign to promote Batesville
Summary
A resident told the Batesville City Council about a grassroots plan to promote the city through free public-service television announcements and local events, proposing a five- to ten-year effort to drive tourism and raise the town’s profile.
A resident used the council’s public-comment period to outline a plan to promote Batesville with free public-service television announcements and local promotions, saying the effort could run five to 10 years to boost tourism and the city’s profile.
The commenter said the campaign would rely on public-service announcements to avoid airtime costs and involve local personalities and students to produce short segments. “We’re planning on doing this for about 5 to 10 years,” the resident said, describing partnerships with local business owners, two sisters who would appear as spokespeople, and an author who plans to promote Batesville while on a Texas book tour.
Council members did not vote on the proposal during the meeting. The speaker framed the effort as a long-term, low-cost way to attract visitors by highlighting Batesville’s history and local attractions.
The public comment closed without formal action; the council moved on to departmental reports and routine business.
