Legislative update:
At the September 11th meeting, the
Government Affairs Committee welcomed
Ruth Ann Omer, President of Gateway Engineering, Inc.
In addition, Ruth Ann serves as a Board of Director for the
Local Government Academy. The Local Government
Academy (see http://localgovernmentacademy.org/ )
is a non-partisan organization that promotes excellence
in local government by providing educational
opportunities for local government officials. The
Beaver County Chamber of Commerce hopes to

Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge
White House Convening; meetings with Congressman Keith
Rothfus and staff members for Senator Robert Casey and
Senator Pat Toomey; meetings with editors of the
Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed;
and the 12th Annual Elected Officials Reception on
Capitol Hill, sponsored by the Greater Pittsburgh
Chamber of Commerce.
While in Washington D.C., Dr. Reber discussed the
Chamber’s priorities. In particular, Dr. Reber discussed
the partnerships and collaboration between
Beaver County colleges, school districts, government,
business and industry that are focused on economic
and workforce development and quality of life.
Economic Development
At the invitation of the Beaver County
Commissioners, John Thayer, Beaver County
Chamber Chairman, participated in discussions with
local business and community leaders learning about a new and
exciting designation for the Pittsburgh region, including Beaver
County. In July of 2015, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker
awarded the Pittsburgh region a designation under the Investing in
Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP), making it one of 12
communities this year to receive unique federal support for long-term
economic development growth in regional manufacturing. The IMCP
which is designed to accelerate the resurgence of manufacturing in
communities nationwide by supporting the development of longterm economic development strategies. The Greater Pittsburgh
Metals Manufacturing Community, a partnership of government,
university, industry, workforce and economic development
organizations, submitted the application for the IMCP competitive
designation earlier this year. The lead organization was Catalyst
Connection in Oakland.
w w w . b c c h a m b e r . c o m
October is National
Chamber Month!
From the communities that applied this round, 12 were selected by
an interagency panel, based on the strength of their economic
development plans, the potential for impact in their communities, and
the depths of their partnerships across the public and private sectors
to carry out their plans. As demonstrated by this year’s designees,
leaders from the private sector, local government, higher education,
local economic development organizations, and other nonprofits
worked together to identify a sector of manufacturing where their
community has a comparative advantage and drafted a strategic plan
that addresses: workforce and supply chain challenges; infrastructure;
research and innovation; trade and investment; capital access; and
operational improvement for manufacturing companies.
The Chamber thanks the County Commissioners for engaging us in
this effort, and we look forward to working with other stakeholders in
the county as it relates to the IMCP opportunity.
