All local Chambers Supporting BUY LOCAL campaign.

BUY LOCAL Message On Billboards
Our BUY LOCAL promotional campaign has reached new heights on billboards across Gaston County. All Chambers in the county are now participating in the campaign, which was developed by the Montcross Area Chamber. Advertising space on the billboards was donated by Fairway Outdoor, with each Chamber paying a share of the production costs. Look for the billboards on Franklin Boulevard in Gastonia, Wilkinson Boulevard near the South Fork River, Dallas-Cherryville Highway and Bessemer City Road. For more information on how your business can support the campaign, email Chamber VP of Member Services TERESA RANKIN, who created the BUY LOCAL logo and marketing program.
