There are therefore no resources for lavish advertising or public relations campaigns. Nevertheless, to appease the chamber director, who does have a big mouth in the business community and is also well connected in certain political circles, the Mayor has asked you to come up with a business attraction strategy that will appease the chamber while at the same time not breaking the bank.
