Tourism study: Consolidate Hall County's brand
Consultants suggest making Flowery Branch gateway to area
0426TOURISM2
Georgia economic development experts are recommending that the Flowery Branch Depot be converted into a master visitors center for the county and Flowery Branch itself into the gateway to Hall for Atlanta-based tourism, according to a presentation on Tuesday.
Flowery Branch would be the new tourism gateway to Hall County as part of a proposal from Georgia tourism officials. Since November, tourism experts from the Georgia Department of Economic Development have studied the tourism economy of Hall County — the state of its private sector resources, public sector regulations and opportunities for growth. The work was requested by the Lake Lanier Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Hall County is the latest of more than a dozen counties to be studied by the department.
