The Hopewell/Prince George Chamber of Commerce is developing a five-year strategic plan to attract more visitors to the area.
The Chamber has chosen Marshall Murdaugh, a tourism marketing and strategic planning consultant, to produce the plan. Funded by a mini-grant to the HPG Chamber from the Virginia Tourism Corp., Murdaugh started his work with a tour of the area earlier this month.
The Hopewell/Prince George Chamber took over management of the area’s Visitor Center and tourist promotion program in 2014. Last summer the chamber completed a series of DRIVE Tourism workshops sponsored by the VTC. Completing the series of workshops qualified the organization to apply for the mini-grant.
