Tonight the Greater Starkville Development Partnership held a reception for dignitaries from the Columbus Air Force Base. The event was done in conjunction with the Military Affairs Committee which I co-chair.
The reception was the culmination of an afternoon of tours of the city, county , and university, showing what Starkville has to offer those stationed on the base. The reception gave everyone some time to talk and ge to know each other a little better.
Success of events like this are always difficult to gauge becasue the benefits are long-term. But, if I had to make a guess, my thinking is that it was a successful event and both Starkville and the CAFB will reap benefits in the future.
