This incredible promotional opportunity kind of fell into our laps here in Ark City. But it was no accident. Arkansas City has made great strides in recent years and has always been a strong small town with good quality of life.
Getting a five-minute segment on national television, even cable, to boast about the quality of life in Ark City and be able to use the piece as an ongoing marketing tool sounds almost too good to be true.
The $20,000 cost is well worth it - I'll bet the chamber has no problem raising the funds privately. This could be a great business recruitment tool and general image builder for Ark City to south-central Kansas and beyond.
We all know that Ark City has had a reputation for being a blue-collar town with blight problems and contentious politics, but that is slowly changing. Some of the recent success toward community building - hospital, schools, downtown streetscape, burford rennovation - are changing the image toward a place that works together and build a vibrant, strong town.
Could this be a turning point?

So Dave,
When you pay that $20,000 to advertise Ark City and the General Area? (On National TV)
What do you have in mind regarding jobs and housing for those who might be interested in moving?
While your at it what do you have in mind for those who are already HERE????????????????????????????
