Why this matters in The Nashville
The upcoming Great Smoky Mountains edition of Monopoly could bring a new level of exposure to local businesses and nonprofits in the region. By featuring well-established organizations from across the Smokies, the game has the potential to boost tourism and support the local economy. The fact that the public is being invited to nominate their favorite businesses and locations adds a layer of community engagement to the project. This could lead to a more authentic representation of the area in the game, as locals will have a say in what is included. The release of the game in select local stores and online will also provide an opportunity for residents to showcase their community to friends and family who may not be familiar with the area. As the nomination deadline approaches, it will be interesting to see which businesses and nonprofits are selected to be featured in the game.
