Message from the Executive Director
All things considered, 2023 was a very successful year at the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce! Being new to Hastings and this Chamber and Economic Development effort, it has been a wonderful few months full of learning about the community, meeting business representatives, and exploring how we can make our efforts at the Hastings Chamber more impactful.
With the partnership between the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and Hastings Economic Development Corporation beginning in 2023, leadership of both entities is focused on collaboration, growth of Hastings, and opportunities for shared efforts toward long-term strategic growth of business and community amenities. As many organizations in Hastings bring value to the community and residents, the Chamber and HEDC continue to market our community and provide leadership and connection to resources. Data indicates growth in property valuation, increase in sales tax collection and many indicators to show that Hastings is a strong community. We are excited to continue that momentum in the new year.
As our team at the Chamber and HEDC looks ahead to 2024, we thank you for your support of our efforts and look forward to working with you! We look forward to many opportunities for our businesses to work together for the long-term sustainability of Hastings, and appreciate you being a part of the conversation.
