Visit Statesboro was invited to attend the inaugural Choose Bulloch: Discovering Opportunities event, presented by Georgia Power.
This luncheon brought together prominent community leaders, partners, and engaged citizens for a lively discussion on what makes Bulloch County a place where people can live well, build careers, and achieve their own American Dream.
Attendees were able to listen to a panel discussion and ask questions to learn a bit more about the intentional and collaborative efforts underway to support smart growth, strengthen our workforce, and enhance the quality of life across our community.
The panelists included:
Alan Gross, Georgia Southern University BIG
Allen Muldrew, Downtown Statesboro Development Authority
Justin Samples, Visit Statesboro!
Jan Moore, Ogeechee Technical College
Benjy Thompson, Development Authority of Bulloch County
Jennifer Davis, Statesboro-Bulloch Chamber of Commerce
Justin discussed the economic impact of tourism in Statesboro, and across Bulloch County overall, to show how important of a driving force tourism really is. Here’s a look at some of those numbers:
The spirit of partnership was truly the driving force behind the day. Choose Bulloch was an opportunity to celebrate the organizations working together to connect people to opportunity and shape the future of our community.
We love taking some time to get together with our community members, engaged in conversation all about Bulloch County’s future. We’re excited to continue showing people why they should Visit Statesboro, and Choose Bulloch!
