Let's Jump Start the Local Economy - Spend $20 on the 20th |
|
 Each week, over 10,000 Lumpkin County residents read The Dahlonega Nugget.
What if, on one day, each of those readers spent just $20 with a local business?
What would the financial impact be on our local economy? The psychological impact? Can one Andrew Jackson per person really help jump start the local economy?
The Dahlonega Nugget, in conjunction with the Chamber, the Downtown Development Authority and the Dahlonega Merchant's Association, proposes to find out.

Dahlonega Gold Museum Restructuring |
|
 Our system of Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites ranks among the top three in the nation. Millions of visitors each year rely on our parks and historic sites to provide amazing vacation opportunities and outstanding educational experiences. As you have heard in local media, it is not new news that our park system and historic sites are facing great challenges.
You may not be aware, however, that our own Dahlonega Historic Gold Museum is facing reduced hours and staffing. Our Gold Museum is the heart of Dahlonega’s historic downtown. Thousands of visitors walk through the doors of the Gold Museum each year. These visitors add tremendously to our local economy. Georgia is currently in the middle of a “Stay and See Georgia” tourism campaign. By closing days and reducing staff at the second most visited historic site in the state, the state is contradicting its own investment. Tourist dollars currently assist the residents of Lumpkin County by helping to keep property taxes down.
