My honest opinion, this is
My honest opinion, this is just another unbranded Fort Smith website that really doesn't give a cohesive image of the town working together to fulfill a need that is a one-stop source of communication for this town. And another, the word River Valley is also going against the recent campaign that was launched to bring this region together based on the TIP Report, which YEL is a product of. The Greater Fort Smith Region is the official name that needs to be utilized when possible. As a part of YEL and a member of the LC, which is supported by the Chamber, I would think that you are in a position to help grow this initiative.
And also without proper promotion and visibility, how will people know this site exists? There are a ton of Fort Smith websites, but no one knows about them because there again, is not one joint voice working together to promote our town and region. Maybe you can advertise this site on the beautiful plastic bus stop benches that adds to the quality of place in our region.
