The Greater Chapin Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Community Summit on Thursday, March 8, beginning at 7 pm at Mt. Horeb Lutheran Church (101 East Boundary Street) in downtown Chapin.
The focus of the Summit is to share information with members of the entire 29036 community on efforts the Chamber and others are leading to enhance economic and community development in the Chapin area. Mayor Stan Shealy and Lexington County Councilman Johnny Jeffcoat are among the speakers who will talk about ongoing efforts to plan for Chapin's future and manage its growth.

One of the presentations from the Chamber will include the results of a community survey that was conducted in January to identify how residents and business owners felt about the community as well as determine what issues were of greatest concern. Three areas that were identified in the survey for feedback were traffic congestion, general appearance of the community and the need for more jobs and businesses.
The Summit is free and open to the public. Participants are encouraged to not only observe the presentations by community leaders but also take part in a question-and-answer session as part of the agenda.

According to Chamber Chairperson Erin Long, the goals of the Summit are to inform people living and working in 29036 about efforts that are in the works as well as ones being planned to enhance the community and share with them how they can be engaged to help facilitate Chapin's continued growth and prosperity.
There are many communities through South Carolina that would love to have the amenities Chapin enjoys -- Lake Murray, easy access to the interstate and Columbia, strong public schools, attractive neighborhoods and a growing arts center. Yet traffic congestion and keeping Chapin's small town feel are frequently cited as concerns for area residents and businesses. Working together with a common vision can help Chapin wisely plan for the future and hopefully the results will be a place we're all proud to call home.
