Hometown Productions' map NOT a Chamber project
Please be aware that the Wayne County Relocation map currently being promoted to potential advertisers is not endorsed or supported by this Chamber. Hometown Productions is currently preparing to canvas the County to sell ads for their new map. They also use the name Universal AdCom.
The only map that is endorsed by the Wayne County Chamber of Comerce is through Universal Advertising Associates, Inc.
Please advise the Chamber office if you are approached for an ad on the map and the salesperson indicates Wayne County Chamber endorsement. If a saleperson tries to sell you advertising claiming to be endorsed by the Chamber, please verify with us first. We always contact our members via email, newsletter, etc. when we are endorsing a project.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Wayne County Chamber of Commerce
