A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAMBER
Greetings
from the Loganville Chamber of Commerce. The Loganville Chamber is always
seeking new and better ways to serve and improve the community. As we
experience drastic changes due to growth throughout the city and the
surrounding area, we are eager to hear the opinions of the residents and
businesses in Loganville.
We've been so fortunate to have new, high
quality businesses take root along the Highway 78 corridor. We have not only
acquired these quality businesses, but also the beautiful structures which
house them. You are going to see more of this in the last half of 2003 and
into 2004.
We continue to seek out commercial industry to
help cushion the tax base, but due to the lack of long range planning -
which is often the case - we do not have large parcels of land to
accommodate industry. To develop a commercial park we need 350-700 acres, so
this is still a work in progress. We continue to work with the State of
Georgia Department of Industry and Trade to attract industry to the area.
The Loganville Chamber of Commerce provides
vital assistance to businesses seeking to locate in our area. We have been
the guiding force behind a number of our new business as we work one-on-one
to provide guidance and information as needed. The Chamber strives to be
informed of all current and future plans that will effect this area.
The Chamber of Commerce sponsors special
events to enhance and provide opportunities for the citizens to get together
and keep the community spirit alive. We sponsor the Scholarship 5K Run in
April each year with proceeds going to Scholarships at Loganville High. We
are proud to serve as partners in education to our schools and this run
allowed us to give three $1,000 scholarships to seniors in the 2003
graduating class. Logan's 5K Run and LoganFest are the third weekend in
October each year and we coordinate the Tree Lighting to begin the Holiday
Season on Thanksgiving each year. the highlight of our Holiday Season is the
Christmas Parade held on the first Saturday of December.
It is the goal of the Chamber to be the rock
of stability needed by the community to make good things happen. We need
this community working together in a spirit of sharing responsibility and
achievable goals to ensure our children a bright future. We are laying the
foundation for our leaders of tomorrow. My hope is to leave a firm
foundation for a bountiful future.
The Loganville Chamber serves the Loganville
and West Walton area. We invite you to join with us as we seek to provide
responsible leadership in our town during these changing times.
We wish you the best in 2007-2008.

Betty McCullers, President
Loganville Chamber of Commerce
