Cumberland’s Economic Development Corporation is looking for marketing assistance through a grant recently received.  The CEDC’s Executive Director, Matt Miller, explained the details of how the grant will be used during a recent board meeting, saying the grant will help to further efforts already underway…

”The CEDC was awarded a $50,000 grant to generate and implement a strategic marketing plan to promote past, current, and future projects and initiatives throughout the city of Cumberland. For example, the marketing effort will highlight the comprehensive revisioning of Baltimore Street while raising awareness of opportunities that exist for private investment within the district.”

The CEDC is receiving quotes for the marketing services through the 20th of this month.  The position is for six months in a hybrid work environment…

”A portion of the funding will be utilized to hire a professional marketing consultant to help produce and oversee the plan, guide the creation of marketing collateral, create the content for social media platforms promotion and provide an entire overhaul of CEDC’s web presence. And that would include the creation of accounts on other social media platforms that we don’t already have.”
