A Community Public Forum & Tourism Assessment Results

Who should attend: Residents, business owners, elected officials, organizations, educators, families and students.

What is First Impressions: It is an assessment designed to help communities learn about their strengths and weaknesses through the eyes of the first time visitor. Recently, the city of Marlette was successful in applying for the First Impressions program offered by Michigan State University Extension. During the summer of 2017, four tourists visited unannounced. The results of their visit will be shared during this evening forum. Community leaders will be present to listen to suggestions and guide next steps.
