| REFERENDUM in PVSD - Artificial Turf. Real Potential |
The
Perkiomen Valley School District wants to make sure business owners in the area are aware of the
upcoming Nov. 7 referendum asking school district voters for permission to borrow money to build an artificial turf athletic field. If the referendum is approved by a majority of voters and if the Board approves the project, the potential for increased school district/community/business partnerships exist. We invite business owners to review the information we have posted on the school district website to learn more about this initiative, and if they are PVSD residents, we encourage them to get out and vote on Nov. 7! Questions? Please email [email protected] for information.

Greater Philadelphia Chamber presents
Funding your Future: The Middle Market Capital Journey
For many of the rapidly growing companies in the middle market, capital is a top concern. Overcoming issues around awareness of sources of capital and the process for raising capital is a primary growth hurdle many local middle market companies face. With over $2 billion in un-invested capital located in Greater Philadelphia, the resources are available if companies know how to access them.
Join the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia to explore the financing options that are available, the challenges faced in accessing capital, and the opportunities middle market businesses could pursue. Hear from a panel of regional experts and middle market business leaders who have successfully traversed the capital journey, and discover how your business can gain access to the right capital to get to the next level.
