过去和现在
从贸易委员会演变而来, 成立于1902年，目的是促进亨廷顿的商业发展, the 亨廷顿 Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1924. It received its 501c (6) status in October of 1951 from the Internal Revenue Service.
During the 1950s, the Chamber emphasized cooperation between business and education. It also worked to advance the general welfare and prosperity of the 亨廷顿 area so that its citizens and all areas of its business community would have ample opportunity to prosper.
In response to the need for industrial development in the early 1960s, the Chamber led the efforts to rezone the eastside 亨廷顿 Industrial Park for heavy industry. It was also involved in the effort to secure funds for improvements to the 亨廷顿 Municipal Airport.
In 1965 construction on two major projects began: the 亨廷顿 dam and reservoir and the four-lane U.S. 24绕过. The direction of development in the city of 亨廷顿 would change forever.
河叉开发公司.公司. was created in 1968 to purchase approximately 250 acres at the intersection of Old 安德鲁斯 Road and Indiana 9 and 37. This land was acquired for the development of Riverfork Industrial Park.
The Chamber sponsored the dedication of the 亨廷顿 Lake and Dam in 1971 and Hunckler Products announced plans to be the first resident in the Riverfork Industrial Park. The annual 文化遗产日 celebration became a Chamber project at the disbanding of the 亨廷顿 County 文化遗产日 Association also in 1971. 文化遗产日 continues today under the direction of the Chamber.
河叉发展公司. dissolved in 1979 and the Chamber formed Lime City Economic Development Corporation. The cooperative effort between public and private sectors worked and by 1984, the infrastructure in Riverfork Industrial Park was completed.
With the development of Frontage Road in the 1980s, the U.S. 24绕过 ceased to form the borders for development on the city’s north side. Tax Increment Financing Districts were formed to enhance both commercial and industrial development.
The 1990s began with a growing economy, creating new jobs, housing, and commercial development. The quest for well trained employees became a priority. The Chamber’s Business/Education Collaborative realized that providing new training opportunities for the workforce was essential. This has led to an association between the Chamber and Life Long Learning and WorkOne which continues to grow today. It is essential to the future growth of 亨廷顿 County to have well educated and trained workers. The Chamber strives with these organizations to create these opportunities which in turn bring businesses to 亨廷顿 looking for skilled labor.
The Chamber of Commerce of 亨廷顿 County currently and through the years supports and promotes a community atmosphere in which business prospers and the quality of life continually improves. 它是进步和改进的声音, bringing together businesses and individuals for a thriving community.
