Mayor Steve Pellegrini was in full booster mode as he introduced his latest tool to promote the township: a slick new video.
The mayor unveiled the eight-minute clip at his annual Chamber of Commerce lunch last Thursday at Nobleton Lakes Golf Club.
More than a hundred guests watched the clip filled with images of King Township businesses, scenery, facts, figures and information. It’s all presented in a professional, smooth style that shows off the best the township has to offer.
Pellegrini was effusive in his praise of the video.
“I’m sure anyone who saw that, would love to live and work here,” he said after it concluded. “We’ve raised the bar a little bit about what’s going on in King.”
He made a brief speech about what the township has done to help businesses including:
• businesses can choose to be open 363 days a year (other than Christmas Day and Easter);
• $40,000 is available to local businesses to help them improve;
• three new Community Investment Profiles, produced by the township, are full of details about King City, Schomberg and Nobleton, and separately break down by village items like average home price, growth forecasts, median household income, new business starts, locations, etc.
He also encouraged business leaders to communicate their needs with the township and to take advantage of any programs offered.
