AWARDS from page 1A
Both were able to give
speeches thanking the com-
munity for the honor and
talking about the decisions
that keep them uplifting
others and giving back.
In the State of the Cham-
ber, Hannigan spoke about
Zoom meetings, being at
the table at important meet-
ings and reaching out to
Florence area businesses to
connect them to important
resources.
“We have revitalized ex-
isting and developed new
relationships with fellow
stakeholders including the
city, county and state, along
with our tourism partners.
These relationships shared
moments of hopelessness
and frustration along with
the joys of achievement. We
worked together to lift one
another up with encourage-
ment, compassion and a few
Kleenex,” she said.
Her presentation con-
tinued, “We developed
COVID-safe events to pro-
mote shopping locally and
to capture as many tourism
dollars as we could. As a
point of reference, our lodg-
ing tax revenues were up
over 15% from pre-COVID.
Those visitors came and re-
newed their passion for the
coast and spent their hard-
earned dollars here which
helped our community stay
strong even in an econom-
ic disaster. Our community
survived and thrived, and
we’ll hear some of those sto-
ries tonight.”
Those stories were re-
vealed as members of the
chamber board presented
the nominees and winners
in the following categories.
