This proves to be an exciting year for the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce as the chamber has several ambitious plans to promote the community, according to Fred Steiner, chamber CEO.
Among those include:
• launching a signage program,
• expanding social media to promote the community, and
• developing ways to make Bluffton a destination for visitors.
These three programs emerged from last winter’s chamber brainstorming session when the chamber board asked members for ideas on improving Bluffton.
