Commentary by Erin Murphy
Westfield Welcome is a term that was created one year ago. The Westfield Communications Department coined the phrase when a gap was identified; the resident and visitor experience.
Thousands travel from near and far to experience Grand Park. What many of them fail to recognize is they are visiting Westfield, one of the greatest places to live, work and play. Westfield Welcome is the tool that will keep them coming back for more.
If you head out to Grand Park you might notice the orange shirts ready to greet you. The person wearing that shirt is most likely a Westfield resident excited to show off one of the largest sports parks in the nation. That volunteer is eager and willing to share their wealth of knowledge about all things Westfield. Whether it be the nearest place to get gas or directing Grand Park visitors to see and experience downtown Westfield.
Westfield Welcome is not just for the visitor. Residents can find out all things Westfield from the schools to the chamber and everything in between.
