On Tues., Feb. 19, The Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce sponsored the grand opening of LKNConnect.com at the Peninsula Club in Cornelius. Founder and CEO, Dr. Douglas Fitzgerald, cut the red ribbon, cheered on by LKNConnect.com staff, advisory board members, marketplace members, Chamber of Commerce members, and local dignitaries.
Fitzgerald explained the three phases of LKNConnect.com. Phase 1, which launched in Oct., is an online magazine featuring local businesses, outstanding citizens, restaurant reviews, business/money tips, things to do, and local government issues.
Phase 2, the local marketplace, is in its early stages and provides a way to advertise and sell products. This powerful platform will make it easier than ever to buy locally and have it shipped to your door.
Phase 3, the community health consortium, will launch sometime in the second quarter. LKNConnect.com’s Community Health is working with local healthcare providers to promote an educational program about preventative healthcare.
LKNConnect.com is also working with non-profit organizations to promote their services throughout the region.
Special thanks to staff member, John McHugh of Ocaid Photography, for his photos of the event.
Thank you to everyone who came out for the ribbon cutting!
Congratulations to the LKNConnect team. Best wishes for much success!
