Remember to shop and dine local!

In preparation for the upcoming academic year, NCCC would like to invite you to partner with the college and other establishments by offering students a discount of your choosing when a student presents their current NCCC student ID. As a community partner, the Office of Campus and Student Life will include the business name in a special directory and promote the discount via a publication, email and Facebook. Electronic marketing will include a hyperlink to your establishment. We see this opportunity as a win-win for all.

Business Spotlight of the Month!
Franklin County Chamber Alliance
Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake and Malone Chambers’ of Commerce, Franklin County’s largest business organization
The Franklin County Chamber Alliance is proud that as a result of our historic first time alliance between local Chambers, and our three year educational and political outreach effort has resulted in the passage, by the Franklin County Legislature of legislation that enables this county to leverage significant investment capital that will be overseen by a private sector board for the purpose of marketing this region’s greatest asset, tourism.
This legislation will result in a savings to local taxpayers and the opportunity to generate increased sales tax revenue, retail sales and employment opportunities and will help energize one of the economic drivers identified by the North Country Regional Economic Development Council.
The FCCA thanks the County legislature and the leadership of Chairman Billy Jones for the exhaustive research and study they devoted to this matter as well as the six public hearings held, in what has been one of the most public and transparent processes ever devoted to a single piece of legislation.
We also extend our thanks to the advisory committee of private citizens who devoted countless hours of their time and expertise to craft this outstanding legislation, and to the North Country Regional Economic Development Council for their affirmation and support.
Franklin County has taken a great stride today in investing in our future prosperity and the Franklin County Chamber Alliance is looking forward to assisting and supporting other opportunities going forward.
