The Atlantic City Council, Wednesday, learned a promotional marketing video was being created, aimed at drawing young professionals and other employees to Atlantic. Atlantic Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bailey Smith, CADCO Executive Director Jennifer McEntaffer, and SWIPCO Community Development Director Alexsis Fleener, got together with Atlantic Development, a local investment group, to discuss and find ways to address the issues of population decline, housing and properties for sale, etc. Smith says one of the groups’ ideas was to market Atlantic on a much wider basis than before.

McEntaffer said the video will also focus on the community being family friendly.

The footage will be edited together to create a roughly two-minute video, which when finished will be placed on the City’s YouTube Channel that will be set-up. Social media will also help blast the message out. Atlantic will be one of the first towns to be on the Iowa Economic Development Authority’s (IEDA) website, as part of a national media campaign to draw more people to the State.

Atlantic’s video will be different than others to be featured.
