How Can You Best Use Your Chamber Membership? Let Me Count the Ways… The Grapevine Chamber offers each business investor several ways to use their membership. Just by being a member, your company is listed in the annual printed Grapevine Community Directory & Referral Guide and on the Chamber website for customers to find your products or services, events and job postings. Another example of using your investment is helping to plan events like the Annual Chamber Golf Classic Tournament, October 6, where you can be on the committee to
work with and get to know other businesses. Being a sponsor of the tournament allows you to promote your business name and be at the course to meet people, or you can play in the tournament with current customers or suppliers. Volunteering the day of the tournament gives you the opportunity to be at Grapevine Golf Course, thanking all the players for participating and supporting the Chamber, while enjoying the great outdoors and still working, by using that little thing called technology!

In September, 24 of our citizens or businesses took advantage of the Leadership Grapevine program. They will spend nine days in the next nine months to get to know each other, while learning a great deal about Grapevine. They will find ways to become involved in Grapevine that they never expected or knew existed. September also saw 380 of our business members volunteering for GrapeFest, totaling more than 875 hours of work! From the Continued on page 2

City of Grapevine Young Entrepreneurs Hires Economic Academy Kicks Off Development Director Seeking to capitalize on its outstanding location in the dynamic Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and its prime development opportunities, the City of Grapevine, Texas, has hired Robert (Bob) C. Farley to serve as its first-ever economic development director. The City created the position as part of its new, strategic focus on attracting, retaining and growing quality businesses in the community. Grapevine selected Farley after an extensive nationwide search. “Grapevine is excited and fortunate to bring in a professional of Bob’s caliber to serve as our first economic development director,” said Grapevine City Manager Bruno Rumbelow. “Bob will serve a vital role in identifying key business prospects and then creating and executing successful marketing campaigns to attract those businesses here. With his talent for innovation, extensive experience and knowledge of economic development trends, coupled with Grapevine’s unique attributes, we expect to be very successful in this new initiative.” Farley will be charged immediately with overseeing the creation of a master plan for the 185-acre parcel near Grapevine Mills that the City acquired in December 2013, and marketing the property to developers or users. The prime property, located at the intersection of SH 121, Grapevine Mills Boulevard and Grapevine Mills Parkway, is the single largest tract of undeveloped land remaining in Grapevine. The City recently retained a land-planning consultant to conduct feasibility and site planning, and to develop a site marketing plan. Farley will also focus on raising Grapevine’s profile with strategically identified end-user markets, such as hospitality, entertainment, retail, and corporate and medical offices, among others, and guiding greenfield and infill development accordingly to meet the community’s development objectives. Development of a future TEX Rail station and the surrounding area, in historic downtown Grapevine, will also be a key priority for Farley and the City. Farley brings 25 years of experience in economic development and corporate advisory roles to the City. Most recently, he served as a partner with Greyhill Advisors, where he worked with corporate, public sector and real estate industry clients on site selection and strategic support for companies expanding new services and entering or evaluating new markets. Farley is a graduate of Syracuse University and holds both an M.P.A. and an M.B.A. from The University of Texas at Austin. “With Grapevine’s incredibly attractive, business-friendly climate and strongly positioned brand, I am confident that we can strategically bring best-in-class businesses to Grapevine, further building our tax base, creating meaningful job opportunities and enhancing this outstanding community,” said Farley.
The 2014-2015 Grapevine Young Entrepreneurs Academy kicked off Monday, September 22 with an orientation session for students and parents. The first class began the following Monday. There were a record number of student applications for the Grapevine program, and the Chamber is looking forward to another great year of launching the newest businesses in our city! If you’re interested in sponsoring the program or volunteering, please contact the Chamber!
