Visitors Bureau


St Joe is lucky to have such a terrific promoter as is found in the St. Joseph Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Their website lists a community calendar, photos, dining info, things to do, places to stay and more, which makes it ideal for tourists (and new residents). I believe this organization's services will be invaluable when the Chief's training camp comes to town. The Bureau has money invested in making our town marketable. A billboard visible to I-29 travelers advertises Jesse James' home in St Joe.

While I maintain that our city has yet to make some progress in luring (and keeping) visitors, I think this organization is forward-thinking and truly acting in the best interest of our citizens.

So, the Chief's have done their part in committing to come to St Joe, and the Visitor's Bureau has done it's part by marketing, the City is adding new tourist destinations (Riverfront Nature Center), and museums are adding value, now I am awaiting an overhauled downtown that will lure families and create a resident and visitor friendly atmosphere.

Keep up the great work everybody!
