Mapping Our Path to Enhanced Visitor Engagement in Person County
The Person County Tourism Development Authority (PCTDA) has been diligently working to bring the Wayfinding Sign Project to fruition. After years of dedication, we are thrilled to see the finish line approaching. The project was implemented based on goals set by the PCTDA board for the future of tourism in Person County. This initiative aims to enhance the navigation experience for both residents and visitors, promoting local attractions and boosting tourism in Person County.
Collaboration with J.M. Teague Engineering and Planning
Our journey took a significant leap forward with the involvement of J.M. Teague Engineering and Planning, specifically with Transportation Planner, Candace Hladick and Creative Director, John Hornsby of Hornsby Creative. The company is a well known expert in maneuvering complex projects like ours. Their partnership began in September 2023, marking the start of an exciting and productive collaboration. J.M. Teague has played a crucial role in guiding and shaping the project, ensuring that it aligns with our vision and goals.
Stakeholder and Partner Engagement
In January 2024, the TDA organized an initial design meeting, inviting stakeholders and tourism partners to contribute their insights and feedback. The gathering was a resounding success, providing valuable perspectives that helped refine our approach. This collaborative spirit continued into March 2024 when we presented the sign designs at the Tourism Summit, allowing for further input and suggestions from a wider audience of tourism partners.
