Chamber asks city for $85,000 to boost marketing and local promotions
Summary
The Brandon Chamber requested an $85,000 city investment to expand community marketing, relocation materials, digital promotion and event support, arguing the funds would help local businesses and attract visitors; council took no vote that night.
A Chamber of Commerce representative asked the council for an $85,000 partnership investment to expand marketing, visitor and relocation materials, digital marketing and promotional support for events that attract visitors to Brandon.
"This is not simply an investment in the chamber, but it's an investment in Brandon," the chamber representative said, asking the council to consider continued partnership and support for small businesses and community branding.
Council members praised the chamber's past efforts and said the request would be considered; no motion to fund the chamber request was made that evening.
Next steps: the council did not act on the funding request at this meeting; staff follow‑up or formal budget consideration would be required for any appropriation.
