Mission Statement:

Discover Flemingsburg's mission is to strive to enhance and expand our business district while preserving the heritage of our community.

Vision Statement:

Discover Flemingsburg's vision is to ensure a welcoming and economically thriving downtown where generations are connected through history, culture and recreation.

                

Goals of Discover Flemingsburg:

*To continue to assist, support and promote the businesses, organizations and events within the city of Flemingsburg.

*Continue to promote the paint program which assists in improving the appearance of buildings within the city.

*Support the Tree city program in meeting their goals.

*Support, promote and participate with Small Business Saturday. This event will take place on November 29, 2013.  The day will consist of a morning Christmas parade, downtown tours of historic properties and churches, various events and activities throughout the community as well as shopping locally with our small businesses.

*Assist the City with purchasing and/or design of new season banners for the downtown area.  The committee will help promote and assist with partnering when feasible with the cost of the banners.

*Assisting with the design and location of an outdoor Community Board which list community events, activities, houses brochures and maps for visitors and travelers when
officers are closed.  

*Search the cost and possibility of having an artist paint several murals around the city which promotes the history and assets of Flemingsburg.

*To maintain financial funds the committee will continue to hold some type of fund raiser that will allow them to continue to support the projects they would like to undertake.

Suggestion would be combining two or more of the communities events to make them bigger and that would draw a larger attendance downtown or undertaking an entirely new event for the community that would replace an existing one.  

Example of a possible idea:  combining the annual Swing on Main/Covered Bridge Festival with a Back to School, paint the town Black and Gold event in conjunction with the opening of the new Art Gallery on Water Street in late August of 2014.  Maybe incorporating a banner contest, raffle, prize drawings with the event.

               

Meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, 4:30 pm at the Chamber Office.
