Main Street Manning (MSM) and the Manning Chamber of Commerce continue to work to merge the two entities together, with the hopes of having everything completed by June 2025. Before the previous director, Jean Voege, stepped down from the role, it was the idea to combine the two organizations together. Current MSM Executive Director, Andrea Rohe says while there will be some differences, the idea of promoting the Manning community will remain.
A survey was sent out a while ago, asking for an idea of a new name to brand the organization as well as new representation when it comes to “chamber bucks.”
Manning Area Partners will be introduced in the beginning of 2025, with new social media pages and websites so stay tuned for that. Rohe is excited to be able to present this new opportunity for the City of Manning and continues to look forward to the strong partnerships with the community and local business under this new endeavor.
