Last week, the media was telling us about siouxfalls.com, a site that will be used as a resource for . . . ? The site seems to be a Chamber driven site, and is managed by Forward Sioux Falls. I don’t take issue with the site, many cities have these types of sites. I do have some concerns though.
The site shares a name with the city’s site, with the change of .com to .org, this may be confusing for some people separating our business community from our local government.
Also, I am wondering if the development foundation used the $2 million we gave them to produce the site or if this comes from the CVB’s bid tax fund? I think the Chamber should pay for their own business (membership) driven sites not the taxpayers.
I have asked a city official to look into the funding of the site.
