January Speakeasy

On January 7th, KCEDA held its first Speakeasy event at the local Basin Martini Bar. This was the start of what will be monthly gatherings, aimed to have current and prospective members of the organization come together to socialize and further advance the conversation on how our local leadership can help improve Klamath County’s economic climate. Collectively, there were over 25 attendees present for the event, one of which was guest speaker Drew Honzel of the Klamath Trails Alliance (KTA).

The KTA is a non-profit organization, comprised of several outdoor enthusiasts (hikers, mountain bikers, trailer runners, etc.) whose mission is to lead the charge in non-motorized trail development. The organization primarily focuses on acquiring trail right of ways, working on trail design, building, and maintenance, as well the promotion and marketing of these areas. During Honzel’s presentation, the audience was able to learn about how successful and important the trails are as a component of economic development, as Honzel commented on several benefits the trails offer in making a community more attractive for new residents, tourists, and businesses.

KCEDA will be having its next Speakeasy on Thursday, February 18th. More details as to the location, time, and upcoming speaker will be made available in the next week. If you would like more information about this event or KCEDA, please contact Andrew Stork (andrew@teamklamath.com).
