The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is growing at an astounding rate, increasing to over 9.8 million residents by the year 2035. The current transportation infrastructure in North Texas is insufficient to handle the growing demand placed on it by the increase in population and commerce.

The Interstate Highway 635 East project, from United State Highway 75 to Interstate Highway 30, is essential to the future of the Lake Highlands Chamber of Commerce creating economic development, promoting safety, and redevelopment opportunities, impacting the City of Dallas, county and state of Texas.

The LBJ Express project, from US 75 to IH-35 E, is currently under construction, adding capacity to increase mobility in the northern portion of Dallas County.

The IH-635 East project will greatly impact the City of Dallas and Lake Highlands through enhancing access and connectivity to one of the region’s largest industrial areas.

The Lake Highlands Chamber of Commerce has joined the coalition the City of Garland has organized including the cities of Dallas and Mesquite, Dallas County, and State Legislators and US Congress Members representing the IH-635 East corridor who are all supportive of the IH-635 East project.

You are invited to come out learn more about this project and how it will impact you as a business owner or resident of Lake Highlands.

On Thursday, October 16th the LHC Forum will host Jeff Farris, President & CEO of BubbleLife Media LLC. He will discuss "The Four Very Golden Rules of Online Marketing for the Local Business": Taking the Frustration Out of Online Marketing.

Almost daily local businesses and organizations are bombarded with the latest fads in online marketing. Facebook? Twitter? LinkedIn? Yelp? New website? Adwords? Email? Text message? Directories? SEO? Instagram? How do you know where local business should spend their time and money and how can you tell what will pay off and which is just a waste of money? 
 
This presentation gives local businesses and organizations the understanding they need to make sense of online marketing and make smart decisions about what they should do to make their online efforts pay off – even if their budget is $0.
