Johnson City Leaders Have Decided To Remove The Convention And Visitor’s Bureau From The Chamber Of Commerce. The Change Is Being Made To Allow The Organization To Focus More Intently On Promoting Tourism. City Manager Pete Peterson Said This Is Not A Negative Reflection On Anybody. The Next Step Is To Establish A Board Of Directors Appointed By City Leaders. Going Forward, The C-V-B Will Work Closely With The City’s Marketing And Communications Department To Advertise And To Host Events That Publicize The City.
