Lockport Chamber Joins Economic Recovery Initiative

LOCKPORT, IL — The Lockport Chamber of Commerce has joined the initiative Chambers All In for Economic Recovery, according to a release from the organization. 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, the chamber said.

Last spring, Chambers All In for Economic Recovery launched its inaugural platform. The coalition released its updated platform for 2022, and if enacted, the coalition identified a platform that would create a foundation for economic recovery, according to the chamber.

The platform includes ways to help diminish the financial hardships businesses face amid a labor shortage, spur economic development and recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Businesses have shouldered large burdens and mandates created by the ongoing pandemic. It is the mission of the chamber to support the business community and serve as their voice, Executive Director of the Lockport Chamber of Commerce said in a release.

Nearly 50 chambers from across the state have joined the initiative.
