hanks to support from the McFeely-Rogers Foundation, the new center will bear a familiar name and logo. “Having Neighborhood in the facility’s name is an ideal fit,” said David Martin, GLLV president. “When I first arrived last January, so many people made it a point to welcome me to the “Neighborhood” and that stuck with me. There is such a strong sense of community here and our new name will be a true reflection of that.” The center will feature area information on shopping, member business services, restaurants, lodging, attractions, activities and communityfocused material for visitors and new and current residents of the Chamber’s service area. The Chamber also sees an opportunity to reach the thousands of regional travelers making their way each week to Arnold Palmer Regional Airport for daily Spirit flights to Florida, Myrtle Beach or, coming in April, non-stop flights to Las Vegas.
