Chamber Begins Economic Development Program
At the 2009 Board of Directors Strategic Planning event, one topic emerged as the number one initiative for the Chamber to create in 2009 — an Economic Development Committee. On Thursday, January 15, 2009, the organization took a giant step towards making this initiative a reality — it held its first Economic Development Committee meeting. The Chair of this newly formed committee, John Shaffery, of Poole & Shaffery, LLP, lead a very spirited discussion on economic development programming for the Santa Clarita Valley.
Several areas were identified as initial goals for the committee. They include:
• Identification of Credit for business owners in the SCV;
• The creation of a new "hit piece" to be used by the commercial real estate community, area public entities, and partnering organizations in the ED process;
• An advocacy sub-committee designed to provide support for infrastructure improvements throughout the Santa Clarita Valley;
• A marketing program designed to show the affordability of housing stock in the SCV;
• A sub-committee to market the Economic Development Committee's programming;
• To partner with area organizations to create a "shop local" campaign.
The next meeting of the Economic Development Committee is set for February 19, 2009.
If you are interested in serving on a committee/sub-committee of the Economic Development Committee, please call the Chamber at 661-702-6977.
