Chairman Pat Gazzola called a special meeting of the Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion
Commission to order on September 26, 2006 at the Fayetteville Town Center at 9:00 a.m.
Marilyn presented results of investigation of office space for the CVB. The following criteria
was used in the selection:
1. Each employee needed their own offices
2. Ability to have a space for an additional staff person in 2007
3. Ability to have a tourist information office which could accommodate a retail space
for Fayetteville items.
The following sites were discussed:.
Chamber of Commerce in Old Post office building - rental
10 N. Block (Sound Warehouse present location) - rental
224 N. Block (Chadd Mason office) - rental
• 21 S. Block (Bath Junkie Location) - purchase
Marilyn recommended purchase of the 21 S. Block location which would allow the CVB to
establish their own identity and better serve the tourism public. Anticipated changes to the
building and furniture would cost around $100,000 in order for the CVB to move in.
Funds are currently available for the purchase.
After discussion; Schmitt moved for the Advertising and Promotion Commission to purchase the
building at 21 S. Block for $1,075,000 contingent on an inspection and an appraisal of at least
$1,075,000. Second by McGeady. Motion carried.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Marilyn Heifner
