The Habersham County Chamber of Commerce is developing its seventh “Habersham County Day at the Capitol” for Wednesday, February 15, 2017. Working with Senator John Wilkinson and Representatives Terry Rogers and Dan Gasaway, the purpose of the trip is for economic development awareness.
“Whether making legislators aware of Habersham County for tourism growth or for helping attract business and industry, we are hoping this trip will make all of Georgia aware of what Habersham has to offer,” says Dr. Judy Taylor, Chamber President. “It will not be a lobbying trip but a county promotional trip.”
A bus will leave the Cornelia Depot at 7:30 a.m. and is scheduled to arrive at the Capitol around 9 a.m. The bus is scheduled to return to Habersham by 4 p.m.
A few seats are still available on the bus. A fee of $30 will cover riding the bus and having lunch with the group at the Capitol. Those who drive and join the group at the capitol will need to pay the Chamber $20 for lunch. All attendees need to register with the Chamber.
The Chamber’s 2016-2017 Leadership Habersham class will be included among those attending but anyone wishing to help represent Habersham County is welcome to go. “We certainly hope that the political and business leaders go,” Taylor says.
To reserve your space on the bus or for lunch, please contact the Chamber at 706-778-4654 or [email protected] by February 10.
