A Community in Unity
The Chamber and our surrounding communities are working hard to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. One unified plan underway is hALL IN – a collaborative effort of the Chamber, local governments, community leaders and key organizaBrian Rochester tions. hALL IN encourages Rochester & Associates businesses and organizaChairman, Greater Hall tions to take the hALL IN Chamber of Commerce pledge – to follow COVID-19 directives and guidelines set forth by the CDC, the State of Georgia and the White House and to wear masks, wash your hands, and watch your distancing. Since the launch of hALL IN in early October, over 310 organizations have taken the hAll In Pledge. Are you hALL IN? Help us stop the spread of COVID-19 in our community by taking the hALL in pledge today at wearehallin.com.
During what’s been a difficult time for all of us, it’s been uplifting to see so many join together in the fight against COVID-19. The impressive response received in support of the hALL IN effort as well as ongoing Chamber webinars and programs is proof that our members and the community understand the significance of COVID-19 and is committed to doing their part to combat this virus. Join us for a webinar facilitated by Northeast Georgia Health System on December 9 (9am) via Zoom as our medical experts share the current status of COVID-19 in
our community and provide instructions on how to keep yourself, your business, and your family safe and healthy during the holidays. Register at GHCC.com/events.
As 2020 draws to a close, let's reflect on the tenacity of our community and the acts of unity that set us apart. From drive-through testing to food drives, we have forged a united path to overcome the struggles associated with COVID-19. Let's remember to stay strong, help each other as we continue to navigate the pandemic, and most importantly, continue to pray for and support our "COVID-weary" healthcare workers.
Buy Local - Eat Local - Donate Local
I recently read that Hall County Fire Services collected $96,000 during this year’s “Give Burns the Boot” drive – collecting more donations from our community than the 100 fire departments competing statewide. During the Holiday Season, support our struggling small businesses and non-profits. Buy Local. Eat Local. Donate Local. Consider a donation in honor or memory of a loved one to United Way's COVID-19 relief fund or North Georgia Community Foundation's fund that makes strategic grants to nonprofits impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, or the Northeast Georgia Health System Foundation where 100% of your gift supports initiatives to improve the health of the community. Support our restaurants and buy a gift certificate for a meal out, or give a gift from a local small business retailer or a handmade item from a local shop. We are a Community in Unity. Let this season reflect our strong and giving spirit.

economic development Certified Manufacturing Lab Hall County School System introduces new student workforce development initiative Officials with some of Hall County’s premier manufacturing companies joined the Hall County Board of Education for a tour of Hall County's first Certified Manufacturing Laboratory at West Hall High School. On hand were representatives from Kubota, Ranger Manufacturing, IMS Gear, PPG, King’s Hawaiian, LaserCraft, Bitzer and ABB. West Hall High School Principal Dr. Ley Hathcock stated, “We could have started a metals program or an auto shop program or any of those, but we have been talking for a few years about how we really need something to introduce students to what the plant across the street looks like – and what it does,” Hathcock said. “This is culmination of that dialogue.” Scott Reed, Manufacturing Technology Instructor at West Hall, led the tour and noted that the lab is a response to the need for qualified individuals to work in the growing number of manufacturing businesses currently in, and soon to be in, Hall County and the State. The laboratory features routers, lathes, 3-D printers, plasma cutters, mills, robotics, injection molding equipment and an array of other conventional and cutting-edge equipment. Reed says he runs the lab and his classroom just like a modern manufacturing facility runs its plant. “I run my (classroom) just like a job shop.” He pointed at the classroom door and said, “This is an employee entrance.” Hall County School Superintendent Will Schofield said that while the Manufacturing Pathway class was only offered at the West Hall High School campus, all district students are eligible to participate in the program. hallco.org

Ammonia Refrigeration Academy Gainesville High graduates complete Lanier Tech training program
Suzanne Altman, Georgia Poultry Federation; Tim McDonald, Lanier Technical College; Mike Giles, Georgia Poultry Federation; Natalie Smith, CTAE Program Coordinator, Gainesville High School, with students (L-R) Jeynci Galo, Jesus Sanchez, Ivan Medrano, Martelle Conner and Cristian Hernandez at the graduation ceremony for the Electro-Mechanical Ammonia Refrigeration Academy at Lanier Technical College. The five week boot-camp style program provided training to recent Gainesville High School graduates for careers in the poultry industry. Prior to entering the program, these students were not planning on furthering their education. With guidance and encouragement from instructor Natalie Smith, they worked hard and received eight certifications. Following graduation, seven area employers in the poultry industry were on site at Lanier Tech, held direct interviews, and will be making employment offers to the graduates. While this was a team effort, the success of the students and program would not have been possible without the Georgia Poultry Federation, Lanier Technical College, Natalie Smith / Gainesville High School, and Worksource Georgia Mountains through which a Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act grant provided case management and tuition costs for the students along with reimbursement for gas/travel. Case management included support of a Life Coach, who worked with each student helping them develop a resume and prepare for interviews.

business news Dongwon Tech to locate U.S. headquarters and manufacturing center to Hall County Dongwon Tech Corporation, a supplier of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts and CR/DR systems, will invest $700,000 in opening a new North American headquarters and manufacturing center in Hall County, delivering 40 jobs to the Gainesville area. Dongwon Tech is a U.S. subsidiary of Yuchang Air Con Co., Ltd., which is headquartered in Korea, and produces a variety of HVAC items and technologies. The 20,000-square-foot facility, located at 2175 Centennial Drive in Gainesville, will primarily produce rectangular air ducts for SK Innovation and another local HVAC company located less than an hour away in Commerce. Dongwon’s strategic location in Hall County will play a critical role in helping the company reach additional customers throughout the Southeast who are looking for a local supplier of air ducts. “Georgia has many Korean-Americans, and already many Korean conglomerates have entered the country, making it easier for Dongwon Tech to enter the country in the early stages of investment,” said CEO of Dongwon Tech Corporation CheolWoong Heo. “It was a good opportunity for Dongwon Tech to be established in Hall County, which has an established, well-equipped manufacturing infrastructure.” Chamber VP of Economic Development Tim Evans stated, “We are so pleased Dongwon Tech chose Georgia and Gainesville-Hall County for their new facility. This is a fast-growing region and their air handling products are critical to new construction.”

A dynamic new mural created by Gainesville-native Chad Shore has been installed on the backside of McGarity's Business Products on Grove Street in the Midtown Greenway area. The "Love Freedom" mural provides another great way to infuse public art in Gainesville. The project is a partnership of the City of Gainesville, Gainesville Parks & Recreation and the Vision 2030 Public Art Committee and joins “The Lost Wall,” a recent recreation of a mid1970s-era mural by Karen Hawk. The new "Love Freedom" mural features a modern child riding the back of an Osprey hawk, along with the visual elements of stained glass and a gold crown, to represent the "Queen City of the Mountains" moniker that Gainesville has boasted for decades. The Osprey hawk symbolizes the spiritual power as a healer, while the child symbolizes freedom. The stained glass effect is used to represent light and a teaching tool, while multi-colored hearts use color theory to express different feelings. Gainesville Parks & Rec Director Kate Mattison said the Midland area of the Midtown Greenway will receive approximately $2 million in improvements through Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax VIII. “The newest section of the greenway located at the Wye, the corner of Grove and Davis streets, will be redeveloped beginning early 2021,” Mattison said. “Gainesville Parks & Recreation is currently in the design development phase and project plans include a large paver plaza, playground, boardwalk, lighting, seating and additional vegetation.”

Northeast Georgia Speech Center 50th Anniversary Celebration Underway
Realizing the vital need for a speech and hearing center in Gainesville, Gainesville Junior Service League volunteers began research in the late 1950's with a uniquely special committee of caring, committed women who would study and visit centers across the South, and then create a plan for our own speech center. First Methodist Church, then on Green Street, Sandra Law, a community volunteer and early proponent of the offered space, and in 1971, Northeast Georgia Speach Center, assists with a hearing test. the doors were officially opened with a newly graduated UGA speech pathologist in place and a small staff of Junior League volunteers for administrative duties. A professor from UGA’s speech and hearing department agreed to serve as an Advisor to the Board. Speech Pathologist Diane Brower, current executive director, came on board in 1975. In 1976, the Northeast Georgia Speech Center (NEGASC) achieved national recognition by earning American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) accreditation. In 1992, NEGASC began a very successful Therapeutic Language for Children (TLC) program for three to five year old preschoolers. Today, this program remains part of the mission of the organization, as well as Lil B.U.D.S. (Babies Understanding and Developing Speech) for toddlers from 2 to 3 years of age. Ongoing supporters include the Rotary Club of Gainesville, the Roy C. Moore Foundation, the Junior League of Gainesville-Hall County, the Chlorox Company, and Motorola Foundation.
