The five-minute video features pictures and information on education, quality of life, real estate, re-location, tourism and a Boone County welcome.
“This is another tool for our economic development efforts and an excellent way to show off our county’s points of interest, great quality of life, tourism, recreational opportunities and our educational system, which is second to none in the state,” said Larry V. Lodato, director of the Boone County Community and Economic Development Office. “Just click on the web site and the video tour can be found on the left hand side of the front page. Anyone in any location can see what Boone County has to offer.”
Lodato says another feature on the video tour is a “PodCast,” which allows the county development office to make periodic announcements about upcoming public events.
“For example, the dates and contact information about the upcoming Boone County Fair is now available by clicking the arrow on the ‘Today’s Message’ icon on the front page of the web site,” he said.
Lodato said the video was produced by CGI Communications, based in Rochester, N.Y., at no cost to the county.
“It was recommended by the National Association of County Commissions,” he explained. “The communications company will be seeking local business sponsors in the near future.”
Lodato added that the Boone County Community and Economic Development Corporation would have its regular meeting at 5 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 11 at the Boone County Business Development Center conference room.
Included on the agenda will be discussion concerning the new entrepreneurial project for the new and existing businesses and start-ups, the county video tour, recreational projects and new grants administered by the county development office.
“The public is welcome to attend,” said board president Mickey Brown.
