Natchitoches Tourism and Retirement

The Natchitoches Parish Tourist Commission now has an opening on its board. Greg Friedman’s three year term is coming to an end and he has decided not to seek a reappointment. With tourism being a major economic factor in Natchitoches Parish, and its recent awards relating to heritage tourism and retirement efforts, this is a relatively important job in Natchitoches.

The commission is looking for nonprofits to nominate someone who can help the tourism industry, and the deadline for nominations is July 16. The final decision and voting will take place on July 19 when the Police Jury has their meeting.

In related news, the U.S. News and World Report magazine has ranked Natchitoches as one of the best places in the United States to retire. It is apparently a “low-cost gem,” or a bargain place for those who may be retiring.
