The Vermillion Chamber & Development Company (VCDC) works to foster and promote the retail, manufacturing, civic, agricultural and economic development interest of Vermillion and the surrounding area. In late June, they chose Lawrence & Schiller to help them boost economic development and recruit businesses to their community.
We’re excited to get the word out about the business growth opportunities in Vermillion, and we needed a strong company to help us,” says Dan Kenton, Board President of the Vermillion Area Chamber and Development Company. “Lawrence & Schiller was the natural choice because of their work with the State of South Dakota and their staff expertise in economic development.”
We are equally excited about working with the VCDC. Many of us here at L&S have lived in Vermillion and are passionate about all it has to offer. We are thrilled to expand our relationships in the city and promote this great community.
We will assist the VCDC in diversifying and complementing Vermillion’s industry mix through a targeted lead generation and reputation-building program.
Our years of experience with economic development organizations, such as Dakota Dunes, Northwest Iowa Development Coalition and Forward Sioux Falls, uniquely position us to partner with the VCDC to foster economic development. L&S is also acutely aware of the unique factors that attract people to the community of Vermillion through our work with the University of South Dakota.
