November 2018

The Monticello Chamber of Commerce officially welcomed Cherri Bell and her amazing staff to Monticello's Main Street with a Ribbon Cutting on November 8, 2018. Cherri and her husband, Bill Bell, came to Monticello a little over ten years ago. After what began with a roadside stand on STH 69, progressing to the Paoli Bread and Brat House, has now become the beautiful Twisted Tree Eatery on Monticello's historic Main Street. Sadly Bill passed away, but Cherri continues to build on their dreams. Following the Ribbon Cutting, visitors were treated to a number of tasty appetizers.

In 2017, the Village of Belleville and its partners conducted a market analysis to better understand how to drive economic development in the community. Results of the analysis have included increased interorganizational communications via the formation of a supercommittee, the development of a new branding strategy, and, most recently, the creation of a new administrative position dedicated to economic development and marketing.
