Y Lakeland Launches Blog

Posted by Josh Hallett on September 4, 2007 at 12:01 PM

Back in May of this year I discovered the new Y Lakeland initiative started by the Lakeland Economic Development Council. The site has grown since then and they recently added a blog to the mix, located at: blog.ylakeland.com.

Y Lakeland Blog

The first post is credited to 'admin' but I assume it's Cat:

During the creation of ylakeland.com I realized that a blogging component was crucial to the new website. I am not an expert, never have blogged before, and don’t claim to have a vast knowledge of Lakeland. I do know that 8 out of 10 young professionals all say the biggest misconception in Lakeland is that there is nothing to do. This blog is focused on niches in Lakeland that I think college students and young professionals would be interested in. Of course it is presented from my bias. Let me know if you have any thoughts…I am always open to ideas, comments, suggestions, and questions.

We'll see how the conversation develops.

The only question I have is how Y Lakeland interacts/compliments (or replaces) EMERGE Lakeland?
