EDC plans more business gatherings, events and starts Facebook outreach
Summary
The EDC described plans to expand business networking (holiday party success, spring gathering with local caterers), to align 'Frost on the Pumpkin' with South River Day, and to create an EDC Facebook page and new email address to boost outreach.
Committee members reviewed recent and planned business gatherings and community events designed to support Main Street merchants. The minutes call the holiday party a success and describe plans for a spring gathering (possible VFW venue in May) with local restaurants given an opportunity to cater.
The EDC also brainstormed a series of Main Street programming ideas — trunk-or-treat, food trucks, a commercial window-decorating contest, American flags, Christmas lights/winter-wonderland, antiques, charity basketball games, and a 'Taste of South River.' The committee agreed to start an EDC Facebook page and create a new email address to improve outreach to businesses and residents.
