This Week's Program

Jeremy Emmett, Chief Operating Officer of Southern Lodging Chief Operations Officer, will share plans for the new Marriott hotel.

In addition to providing a place for quality overnight lodging, the hotel will employ more than 50 people and the construction phase involves a $12 million investment.

The program last week - Justin Allen - Broadstreet Media

Justin and his family moved to Thomasville from California where he had a successful career. He was looking for a opportunity to have a quality of life where he was able to spend more time with his family. He is appreciative of the warm welcome he has experienced, learning to enjoy driving a truck, and avoiding the traffic!.

Broadstreet media focuses on creative story telling that captures the emotion and 'heart' of businesses. He enjoys working with organizations in Thomasville and the surrounding area.
