Resident urges better tourism outreach after Cedar Hill residents travel to nearby events
Summary
Philip Belanowitz of 1130 North Cedar Hill Road told the council he was disappointed in tourism follow-up and noted residents traveled to Lancaster for Juneteenth; he urged stronger local tourism and economic development outreach.
During Citizens' Forum, resident Philip Belanowitz (1130 North Cedar Hill Road) raised concerns about local tourism and economic development outreach. Belanowitz said he had called tourism staff and had not received timely follow-up, and he said residents sometimes travel to nearby cities for events such as Juneteenth rather than attending local celebrations.
Belanowitz said, "I'm still disappointed... going 16 miles to Lancaster for Juneteenth," and asked the council to consider how tourism outreach and responsiveness could be improved to draw visitors and dollars to Cedar Hill. The presiding officer thanked Belanowitz for his comments; the transcript does not record a staff response during the meeting.
