It enables one person to oversee operations of both the Chamber and the Gaylord Area Convention & Tourism Bureau. H “It streamlines the efforts between the two organizations, both of which have common goals,” said Justin Kowatch, Chamber board member and 2006 graduate of Leadership Otsego County. “Paul was a natural fit and we’re glad to have him at the helm.” In its new era, the Chamber is focusing on: Effectively using its membership in the Northwest Michigan Regional Chamber Alliance to benefit members. The Alliance is a consortium of regional Chambers designed to influence legislation for the benefit of businesses in northwest Michigan. Increasing membership. Continuing to develop area leaders through the Leadership Otsego County program. “In Gaylord, we have felt that a rising tide raises all ships,” Beachnau said. “We can accomplish so much more by working together. Historically, we have shared office space and some employees. The change only strengthens our bond and increases the communication flow, helping avoid duplication and overlap.” Each organization will retain its own identity and board of directors. The Chamber’s Membership Services Coordinator’s position, held by Barb Bourdlaies, has been expanded. And a three-member strategic planning committee has been formed to envision the Chamber’s and its member’s future growth.

An example of the Chamber’s role in working alongside the region’s other organizations involved in economic development is the spontaneous creation of an ad-hoc group aimed at downtown development. The Chamber has been able to use its assets to help coordinate the group, give it a place to meet and keep the group organized and moving forward. The Chamber, City of Gaylord, Downtown Merchants Association, Downtown Development Association, Otsego County Economic Alliance and Gaylord Area Convention & Tourism Bureau are now meeting to talk about the challenges and opportunities downtown and how the group can foster development.” –Matt Rooyakker, Partner, Rooyakker & Sitz, PLLC STAFF 1 PAUL BEACHNAU Executive Director (989) 732-6333 ext. 22 paul@gaylordmichigan.net 2 BARB BOURDLAIES Membership Services Coordinator (989) 732-6333 ext. 26 membership@gaylordchamber.com 3 GAYLA LAMBERIES 3 4 1 2 5 Special Events Coordinator (989) 732-6333 ext. 23 events@gaylordchamber.com 6 4 KAREN LAMB combining the Visitors Center with the organization’s administrative offices. The development project will, in yet another way, reduce the Chamber’s costs and streamline services. “We’re so excited about the future that we’re willing to invest in it ourselves,” Beachnau said. “We’ve got some young, aggressive leaders and board members. It’s invigorating me and the Chamber membership. We’re starting to see results of four years of Leadership Otsego County. It’s an exciting time.” Kowatch, a professional engineer, decided to run for the Chamber board after completing the leadership program. “I’ve discovered a large group of people, hundreds of people and hundreds of organizations, that love being in the Gaylord area and love giving of their time to show other people how to do the same.” With new leadership and economic growth, Gaylord’s new era is proving to be good for business.

The promise of hundreds of new jobs coming to the greater Gaylord community in 2009 will increase opportunity at all levels and significantly add to the area’s payroll. T Gaylord’s diverse economy continues to attract new development. With the spring opening of a new Meijer store, as many as 400 people will find employment. The store is located at the corner of West M-32 and South Townline Road, along the bustling M-32 corridor. The two mile corridor contains four strip shopping plazas and five big box stores, plus numerous restaurants. The market area serves 200,000 people from a 50-mile radius. New retailers are part of a diverse economic base comprised of small manufacturers, generally with 20 to 200 employees, transportation, wholesale, distribution and oil and gas production and services. Otsego County is located adjacent to I-75, in the heart of the Antrim gas formation with highpaying jobs in this sector as more than two dozen companies engage in exploration. “Our great strength is in our location in the middle of the northern Lower Peninsula and the very aggressive effort of our community to invest in itself,” said Jeff Ratcliffe, Executive Director of the Otsego County Economic Alliance, who champions for area economic change and growth. The Alliance is a partnership between Otsego County, the City of Gaylord, Village of Vanderbilt, surrounding townships, the County Road Commission, Gaylord Area Chamber of Commerce, 4 | Gaylord Area Chamber of Commerce University Center and the business community. Gaylord’s efforts to retain and attract new companies are meeting success. With support from the Alliance, CSI Components relocated from Drummond Island to begin operations in Gaylord in 2008, providing about 20 jobs. The company produces panelized construction products for a diverse group of customers, including Saginaw Valley State University, Walloon Lake Country Club and the U.S. Coast Guard in Marquette. An investment in new equipment at H&H Tube & Manufacturing, a division of Sunspring America, created three new jobs. The Economic Alliance is also working with Otsego County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority on a plan to invest $1.3 million in locating an Elmer’s Crane & Dozer branch operation at a Gaylord Brownfield site, bringing 10 new jobs. Infrastructure improvements enhance business development and include water and sewer additions to the M-32 corridor, as well as the 2006 completion of a rail spur to A&L Iron and Metal. An ongoing initiative to redevelop the former Georgia-Pacific plant continues to progress with the Economic Alliance preparing a forest base study along with state and local incentives. “Our community is supportive of ‘buy local, sell local.’ Beyond that, we’re discovering a global marketplace. Our small town area is reaching a broader customer base. For example, through his website, Bruce at the Chocolat Haus is selling products all over the country. People who buy his chocolates and candy while visiting Gaylord for vacation can now purchase them year-round. “We’re looking beyond the borders and the 27,000 people who live in the county to create an economy beyond that of Michigan. We’re looking for ways—as a community— to thrive, not just survive.” –Josh Kent, Owner, Alpine Computers & Alpine Web ACCESS AND INCENTIVES ATTRACT BUSINESS aylord is business-ready with attractive tax abatements encouraging location and relocation at two industrial parks that provide direct access to I-75 and markets beyond. “There’s no question, the community’s strength is in regionalization,” said Joe Duff, City Manager. “We feel we are in the perfect location to serve all of Northern Lower Michigan and we’re a relatively short drive to other markets.” FedEx Ground located its new facility at the Gaylord Industrial Park, adjacent to Gaylord Regional Airport, adding 26 jobs to the region’s payroll. Another newcomer to the industrial park is Crossroads Industries, makers of wood pallets and skids. Negotiations are underway to bring yet another tenant to the park in 2009, which would create about 10 jobs. The Otsego County Economic Alliance provides a variety of incentives and assistance in easing a business’s relocation. Both fully developed industrial parks provide municipal water and sewer, natural gas, heavy power and Class A roads. G DOWNTOWN CHARISMA lready inviting with its Swissthemed buildings and tree-lined streets, downtown Gaylord is taking on a new effort to welcome the public by improving its open space. A block-long lawn surrounding the County Courthouse is targeted for enhancement. The prime location is underused, according to John Burt, Otsego County Administrator. “We’d like to see our space used by people coming downtown and for it to be more of a gathering space,” Burt said. A consultant has been hired to create a comprehensive plan with the goal of implementing improvements in 2010 with the help of state grant funding. The green space provides a complement to the charming and colorful Swiss-styled downtown storefronts where independent retailers offer a variety of shopping experiences. Visitors are welcomed by der Chocolatmeister at the Alpine Chocolate Haus, where they have produced handmade candy since 1985, and other friendly merchants who make customer service their top priority. The eclectic variety of downtown shops A includes everything from sports equipment, to art, apparel, footwear and flowers. Local restaurateurs within the district offer opportunity for a quick sandwich, leisurely dining, or take-out. Main Street is also home to the Gaylord Community Arts Center. With its new location opened in 2008, the center presents a schedule of exhibits, concerts, workshops and special events inspired by the northern Michigan spirit. The Alpine Village’s European flavor, friendly merchants, great shops and exciting events combine for a one-of-akind downtown experience any time of the year. www.gaylordchamber.com | 5 With power With power ooutages utages occuring occuring m more ore ooften ften aand nd costing costing more more than than eever ver bbefore, efore, ddon’t on’t you you think think it’s it’s ttime ime to to protect protect your your iinvestments nvestments w ith a Generac Generac Power Power S ystems with Systems eemergency merggency backup backup ggenerator enerator from from Wolverine W olverine Power Power Systems?

G Each year the city invests roughly $750,000 in improvements. These services are headquartered in a new $3.8 million city hall, which in itself is streamlining community services. In addition, the city has streamlined its water billing process with the introduction of an automatic payroll deduction program, saving customers time and money. About 1,400 water customers are eligible for the service. The year also saw the completion of major street improvements and a $1.3 million utility expansion, constructed in partnership with Meijer. The project involved two new lift stations, water main and sanitary sewer service. “We have new life given to our lift station and improved water reliability to the west end of BUSINESS AND PLEASURE TRAVEL MADE BETTER tsego County Road Commission is continuously constructing, upgrading and maintaining 900 miles of roadway. Spring 2009 marks the completion of a $13 million improvement project which involves the addition of an I-75 crossing at Milbocker and McCoy roads. The overpass will ease local traffic by elevating the north and south lanes of I-75, allowing Milbocker and McCoy to form a continuous east-west road. The project enhances safety and access. The planned widening of McCoy Road, from Old 27 to Krys Road, and upgrading McCoy to a Class A road will significantly improve truck access. Other projects in the works include a bridge replacement along East Sturgeon Valley Road, permitting the lifting of weight restrictions to improve transportation for the local logging and oil and gas industries. Charles Brink Road is also on the agenda for improvements. O town,” said Joe Duff, City Manager, noting that utility improvements will serve to attract additional businesses to the district. Improvements on tap for completion before the end of the decade include street upgrades within the city’s northwest corridor while the downtown area will get a facelift in 2009. The City of Gaylord, Downtown Development Association, Otsego County Housing Committee and the Otsego County Economic Alliance secured a $300,000 grant for downtown façade improvement and the development of upper floor apartments for $544,000. Four businesses will get a facelift that features the Alpine motif, part of a commitment promoting continued vitality and growth. On the roads, Otsego County Bus System provides transportation to more than 100,000 riders each year. Thanks to $324,000 in federal funds, the countywide transit service upgraded its fleet in 2008, replacing four older vehicles and added a fifth new bus, ensuring travel is available, safe and convenient for all citizens. Commercial flight traffic gets a boost this year with a $1.2 million runway project at the county-owned and operated Gaylord Regional Airport. Improvements involve paving an existing approach and the installation of LED runway lights to increase safety. Airport projects lay the foundation for bringing passenger service to Gaylord in the future. Private charter and leasing service is available from North Country Aviation, located at the airport. Available aircraft include twin engine, all-weather planes. www.gaylordchamber.com | 7 GOVERNMENTSUPPORT Working together Area government agencies serve county’s interests overnmental entities in Otsego County provide important support for the Chamber of Commerce, business community and residents.

The hospital was also recognized as one of the top 25 Most Wired Small and Rural Hospitals in the nation by Hospitals and Health Networks magazine, one of America’s most trusted medical publications. The latest technology advancements are thanks to a $3 million investment allowing OMH to go live in 2009 with a state-of-the-art electronic medical record system to improve quality of care and outcomes. All OMH affiliated sites, representing “Otsego Memorial Hospital is focusing on how to best meet the needs of residents in Otsego County and the rest of our service area. The growing population has prompted expansions and assessments of what types of physicians are required to meet those needs. We are also interfacing the hospital’s electronic records system with the physicians’ offices. By doing so, the provider will automatically have a full view of what’s occurring with the patient. “A next step involves potentially collaborating with other regional healthcare systems in developing a health information exchange to link clinical information between hospitals. As the medical community moves forward, it will help strengthen economic development in the region.” –Tom Lemon, President & CEO, Otsego Memorial Hospital STATISTICS FY 2005 Admissions . . . . . . . . . . . . .2,009 Births . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .274 Emergency Dept. . . . . . . .12,666 OMH Medical Group . . . .47,130 FY 2006 Admissions . . . . . . . . . . . . .2,029 Births . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .309 Emergency Dept. . . . . . . .12,369 OMH Medical Group . . . .58,156 more than 90 medical practitioners, will connect to the system to provide patient information sharing, including digital transmission of X-rays.

G Spring, summer, fall and winter each provide its own prospects for pleasure. The Washington D.C.-based Rails to Trails Conservancy named the newly completed North Central Trail one of the nation’s five best autumn destinations. The 62-mile, allseason converted rail trail runs from Gaylord to Mackinaw with terminal towns including Vanderbilt, Wolverine and Indian River. Paved with crushed limestone, outdoor lovers enjoy hiking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and mountain biking along the Sturgeon River, past scenic marshes and lakes. Due to the flat terrain and scenic beauty, the trail is also considered one of the premier cycling trails in the Midwest. Fall invites color tours as well as trips to the farm for pumpkins and hunting. Winter days usher in snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing and skating. Snowmobiling rivals golf in drawing tourists and locals into the outdoors and is estimated to be a $20 million-a-year industry in terms of economic impact. With about 175 inches of snow per season, it’s the hub of a statewide trail system that can take you nearly anywhere. Arts & Culture CELEBRATING SWISS STYLE AT ALPENFEST hen thousands gather in Gaylord this summer for Alpenfest, it will mark the celebration’s 45th year.

The much anticipated five-day festival, July 14-18, 2009, features parades, a queen’s pageant, ethnic foods, carnival rides, free concerts, and arts and crafts.

Ethnic Alley touts traditional foods and are flanked by artisans and crafters peddling their unique wares. For more information please visit gaylordalpenfest.com. W 14 | Gaylord Area Chamber of Commerce “After being in business 23 years, I’ve learned that there are times when the cash flow is easy and there are times when it gets tight. Getting through the tough times is a matter of being sharp, keeping your business new and fresh for consumers—from what you’re selling to your building. You need to keep on top of your game and learn where to cut expenses rather than always pass the price onto the consumer. At the beginning of each year, we meet to discuss new ideas for the year and 2009 will be no different. We’re looking forward to another year of being the hometown candy store.” —Bruce Brown, Owner, Alpine Chocolat Haus Gaylord’s many annual events and wealth of recreational facilities offer year-round fun for the whole family. Spring summons opportunity for quiet walks in the woods or along neighborhood streets, hunting for morel mushrooms and biking. Summer months are highlighted by swimming, boating, inline skating, hiking and world-class golf. The area’s 21 award-winning golf courses are a major recreational draw for the region and there’s a course to match every skill level.
