One lovely day in 2000, a handful of local business owners
met on the wide porch of the Henry Clay Inn to talk about
how they could help Ashland thrive. MAP was the lively
result. With 150+ members and growing, we believe that
a thriving business environment in town helps everyone-residents,
MAP
members, and future MAP members.

In
a town this size, it doesn’t take long to get to
know everyone. When you make a personal investment of
time, you make a difference. Please add your energy and
fresh ideas to the fun! Check out the calendar
for this year’s opportunities.
