The Lillington Area Chamber of Commerce (LACC) is proud to announce the rollout of a new community resource: the Lillington Community Guide.
Featuring 29 pages of information; the Guide highlights local businesses, economic information, community history, art & culture, healthcare and education all focused on the Lillington area and Harnett County as a whole.
The Guide began as a passion project for the LACC and their Executive Director Robin Moody who, after coming to the area, was looking for a solid source to find out what was available in her new hometown.
“I've been here two years and what I realized there was nothing that presented all that Lillington had to offer. And as a newcomer into the area, I saw a need for a community guide to help all the newcomers know why Lillington is such an amazing place to live, work and play,” shared Moody. “By having it all encompassed in one guide, it makes it easy because there's a phone number for anything that you need when it comes to paying your water bill, to the Town of Lillington, Harnett County and places to go hiking, the parks, shopping, it encompasses everything.”
The Guide includes economic highlights for Lillington and Harnett County, with listing such as
“Lillington at a Glance” on page three and current economic developments listed on page 23 and more. Moody shared that the goal was to showcase the current economic growth taking place in the area.
“Because there is so much growth that's happening here, we want to show the newcomers why it’s a great place to live. There’s a lot of potential and a lot that’s already in the works,” shared Moody.
The Chamber partnered with 365 Degree Total Marketing to bring the Guide to life both in person and virtually.
Physical copies will be available in person in the LACC office located at 1 W Harnett St. in Lillington. The community is encouraged to view, share and enjoy the Community Guide online here.
“Lillington, is the heart of Harnett and we feature so much, we're like the best kept secret. There's so much here that people just never knew about it, and now this book brings it together,” concluded Moody.
