Three New York State communities form alliance for economic and cultural development.
(Boonton, NJ, May 21, 2015) — When one community lacks the critical mass to attract tourists, residents, and businesses by itself, bundling what it has to offer with the attractions available in adjacent communities offers cost savings and higher visibility for all.
That’s the theory behind the Eagle River Valley Cultural & Economic Corridor, now in its third year.
The Corridor comprises the neighboring towns of Hancock (est. pop. 1,031), Deposit (est. pop. 1,663), and Windsor (est. pop. 916), New York and focuses on attracting tourists, businesses and residents, specifically retirees.
This is an attractive demographic for the Corridor, “as they require no jobs, and need many of the services that provide jobs and income to the local community,” say organizers.
Each town has formed a nonprofit partnership group, which participates in the Corridor effort.
The Corridor has its own board, which includes representatives from all three communities tasked with carrying out the mixed-media marketing campaign.
Details on the Eagle River Valley Cultural & Economic Corridor, appear in the May issue of Downtown Promotion Reporter.
