Nigel Knorr has an idea:
Have you seen the latest figures on how well tourism is doing for the State of Alabama Well, in case you have not, Colbert County tourism is up a whopping 15% over last year's numbers.
Lauderdale County didn't fare as well with only a lousy 2% increase over last year and may I remind you all that Lauderdale County was only up 1% last year. So if my math is correct, Lauderdale County has only increased tourism dollars collected by 3% in over 2 years.
However, Canada Rob got a HUGE 20% raise last year. He now makes almost as much money as the state tourism director and way much more than most of the CVB and Tourism Directors all over the entire state.
Florence and Lauderdale County should demand better than what they are getting. When Debbie Wilson was at the helm, the lowest increase the Florence Lauderdale Tourism board ever experienced was 8%. Perhaps this is exactly what's happening in Colbert County.

Debbie Wilson left Florence Lauderdale Tourism back when they had a terrible and very ignorant board of directors to pursue other avenues. She then went to work for the State of Alabama Tourism department and now has settled in as the Director of Muscle Shoals Sound Music Studio aka 3614 Jackson Highway and BOOM, tourism is on the increase now at Colbert County tourism. Wake up Florence City Council and the Lauderdale County Commission.
Act now before hotels start closing and the fish stop biting.
