Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce Joins New All In Initiative

 

The Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce joins over fifty Chambers across the state in urging the Illinois Legislature to provide additional economic and regulatory relief for businesses.

 

Pekin, IL- The Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce joins the initiative Chambers All In for Economic Recovery. Chambers All In for Economic Recovery is a collaboration of chambers across Illinois. The coalition calls on the Illinois Legislature to prioritize economic and regulatory relief for Illinois' businesses. It is the mission of all chambers to support our respective business communities and help ensure that businesses can thrive for years to come. 

 

Last spring, Chambers All In for Economic Recovery launched its inaugural platform. The coalition releases its updated platform for 2022.  

 

If enacted, the coalition has identified a platform that would create a foundation for economic recovery. The platform includes ways to help diminish the financial hardships businesses face amid a labor shortage, spur economic development and recover from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

Nearly 50 chambers from across the state representing thousands of businesses and hundreds of thousands of employees call for the legislature to champion this platform and provide relief to the business community.

 

Business advocacy has been one of the basic member services of the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce since inception,” says Amy McCoy, Executive Director of the Chamber. “It’s our duty to support our business community in any way that we can to drive economic recovery. This initiative is an opportunity for us to do so at the state level, and in collaboration with our peers.

 

People interested in learning more about the All In platform should contact the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce at www.pekinchamber.com. Additionally, the community can engage with the initiative by following the Chamber on social media at Facebook (@PekinChamber Instagram @PekinChamber and Twitter @PekinChamber.
