    It has been a very busy and productive week. We had our first Lodging Meeting on Wednesday at The Venue at Coosa Landing. There were 6 hotels represented, and it was a fabulous launch and information share. I am really looking forward to developing an open communication partnership with all of our Gadsden, Etowah County Hotels and Campgrounds. We decided will continue these meetings quarterly!
