Building A Remarkable Community

The Chamber of Commerce is one of the local groups working to help Deer Park move with purpose into the future. The Chamber’s Board of Directors is planning an open forum called “Building A Remarkable Community” for November 18th at Lofty Skies (851 S Main Street) to bring more people into this community conversation. 

Danielle Holstine, the Chamber’s Executive Director, says the forum with facilitator Charles Lee is “a place to bring ideas, dreams, and vision for the future of Deer Park. This is the first step towards defining our city identity, discovering our best assets, and utilizing available resources.” Lee is the founder of Ideation, and has worked with companies and cities across America as they move towards solving problems with strategic solutions.
