We have made it through a full year with a Global Pandemic. Our community has faced much adversity in 2020. The Monticello-Jasper County Chamber Board of Directors saw that Jasper County stepped up to help one another. Our community went through this year together by shopping locally, supporting local businesses and lending a helping hand when needed. There is proof that Jasper County was "all in" with supporting local Jasper County businesses. The SPLOST brought in during 2020 was $10,934.40 MORE than 2019. It gets better! Just during January and February 2021, SPLOST has brought in $17,022.47 more than the TOTAL of 2020!! This shows that OUR citizens are keeping their money local!! Jasper County is truly a great community to live and work in.
The Chamber had an increase of inquiries about local builders, real estate agents, graders, contractors, lawn care services, painters, salons, spas, window painting, cleaning services, you name it, we were asked about it in March. We are looking to replenish our business cards, please stop in and drop your business card off for us to pass along.
The Visitors' Center has seen an increase in tourists coming to Jasper County! Brandi is greeting an average of 15 people a day that come to get information about Jasper County. She gives restaurant, shopping and local business recommendations. One visitor told us "they love visiting Jasper County because of the small town feel." Brandi is looking forward to meeting new visitors in April.
Please take a few minutes to see what is happening in Jasper County during the month of April.
If there is anything we can do for you or your business, please feel free to reach out!!
We are here to serve Jasper County!
