Lachanthia Hall told ABC 27 <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wtxl.com\/downtown-tallahassee\/how-to-get-our-share-tallahassee-business-leaders-say-industry-connectivity-needed-to-up-economic-success\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">back in May <\/a>that she was searching for that resource. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whether it&#8217;s writing business plans, obtaining funding, getting mentors, that&#8217;s important. So we just need that one-stop hub,&#8221; Hall said.<\/p>\n<p>The website was developed by Chamber Chair Eddie Gonzalez Lumiere and local business partners. Since launching, the platform has already drawn significant attention \u2014 not just locally, but globally.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since last Wednesday, we&#8217;ve had 1,000 unique visitors, all the way from England to Germany to, I think, Colombia and Venezuela as well,&#8221; Gonzalez Lumiere said.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalez Lumiere said the site is designed to serve both new and existing businesses in the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not only about recruiting the next large business or business to our region, but it&#8217;s also helping our local communities expand,&#8221; Gonzalez Lumiere said.<\/p>\n<p>For those who haven&#8217;t yet visited the site, Gonzalez Lumiere made the case for why they should.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First of all, you should check it out because I think it&#8217;s, once again, it&#8217;s an asset for the community. It&#8217;s a portal that you can learn a lot about our community,&#8221; Gonzalez Lumiere said.<\/p>\n<p>Other business leaders echoed the importance of having a centralized resource to drive economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must have a streamline and a pipeline for businesses to thrive, right?&#8221; said Katrina Tuggerson, President of the Capital City Chamber of Commerce. &#8220;So with this opportunity and with this hub, it puts everything in one place.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The platform has been live for less than a week. The Chamber is currently collecting feedback through the contact form on the website.<\/p>\n<p>This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.
