Nacogdoches county featured on new website

A newly-developed website, Texas Forest Country, is focused on East Texas and all that the region offers. The first aim of the website is to specifically attract retirees, and the site contains information directed toward those considering retirement locations.

In October, PEP (Pineywoods Economic Partnership) unveiled Texas Forest Country to the world. Chairman David Alders says it positions East Texas to market the friendly folks and the pristine forests and waterways that make up this distinct region of the state.

Alders credited former PEP Chair Gene Nethery for promoting this vision five years ago and the Temple-Inland Foundation for providing the seed money to conduct a feasibility study on East Texas as a retirement destination.

Where to stay and what to see and do is highlighted, along with current weather conditions and a pictorial library. The site creators, Ainsworth / Alvis, LLC, are striving to showcase the region from all points of view. “The more information our site can provide, the better it will serve the viewing public!” Jane Ainsworth said.

To increase traffic to the new site, please share the web URL with all of your contacts: www.texasforestcountry.com. No one can know too much about our unique region.
