The Chamber is pleased to announce the completion of renovation and expansion of its offices, including a business resource center that includes co-working space and a conference room with break-out space.  Ribbon cutting will be November 17 at 12:00 noon at 850 Beaver Grade Road, Moon Township, with open house following until 5:00 p.m. The renovation and expansion were funded through an RACP grant and a GEDF grant. 

 

Over the past two years, the Chamber has been working with a myriad of economic interests, local Chambers of Commerce, organized labor, and varied professional associations on what is emerging as a modern approach to agenda setting for our Commonwealth. Specifically, we are seeking to build an agenda around the future of Pennsylvania's economic growth to engage candidates of the 2018 gubernatorial and legislative elections.   Grow PA seeks to convene people and organizations throughout Pennsylvania to establish a modern economic growth agenda for the 21st century that transforms post-secondary education, modernizes all facets of our infrastructure, and accelerates the development of innovation in healthcare technology and delivery. On November 15, a statewide coalition of interests will gather to develop an agenda for economic growth to share with policymakers in Harrisburg. For more information, please click here.
