The Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce (MVRCC) will hold a luncheon meeting on Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at the Charleroi Elks Club, 301 Fallowfield Avenue, Charleroi. Registration begins for the event at 11:45 a.m. and the program will conclude promptly at 1 p.m.
The program for the event will include speakers from the Mon Valley Initiative. The MVI is a 501(c)(3) grass-roots coalition comprised of 10 Community Development Corporations (CDCs) and representing twelve municipalities in the Monongahela Valley. The coalition was formed after steel mills and related industries closed, leaving member communities with thousands of people unemployed and without the tax base of those major landowners. The Mid Mon Valley’s CDCs are Monessen, Charleroi, and West Newton.
“This event is open to the public,” said Deb Keefer, Director. “Anyone who is interested in the economic climate and development of our region is encouraged and welcome to attend.” The speakers slated for the event are Patrick Shattuck, Real Estate Director, Tracey Reaves, Workforce Development Director, and Jonathan Weaver, Housing Counselor.
Reservations are required and the cost is $16/person for members and for non-members, $18/person. Reservations may be made by calling the Chamber office at 724-483-3507, or email at members@mvrchamber.org. VISA, Mastercard and Discover are accepted and on-line registration is available at www.mvrchamber.org.
