“I am proud to report that the state of CADC is strong,” said David G. Sciamanna, executive director. “The corporation is well positioned to expand its positive influence on our community. Our balance sheet gives us the ability to be bold; our vision is clear and our leadership is committed to making Chambersburg a better place to live and work.” Cumberland Valley Regional Development Corp. (CVRDC), CADC’s sister not-forprofit company, made significant progress at United Business Park of I-81 Exit 24. Sheetz opened on four acres in August 2016, and CADC purchased lot seven to construct a 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility for TST Impreso, which they recently occupied. In July 2016, CVRDC sold 200 acres to Matrix Development Group after which a $3 million infrastructure project funded equally by CVRDC and Matrix began. Now 40 acres comprised of three lots are ready for sale and development. The advancement at United Business Park has allowed CVRDC to repay debt, providing CADC the liquidity to implement their new strategic plan announced one year ago. This plan focuses on expanding CADC’s economic impact through initiatives focused on workforce development, downtown development and supporting investments that can create jobs, diversify our local economy and provide unique opportunities for long term investment. Story continued on page 3.

As local industry grows, so does small business Chambersburg’s location on the I-81 corridor has made it a prime spot for industries like manufacturing and logistics. As more and more distribution centers and manufacturing facilities located here over the years, with them has come growth. The county’s population is estimated to be 153,851, an increase of more than 4,200 people from the 2010 Census. The population growth ranks Franklin County as the sixth fastest growing county in the entire state of Pennsylvania. The area’s new investment is bringing jobs and energy while maintaining the community’s quality of life and affordability. The addition of exit 17 and spur of development along Norland Avenue is a prime example. National chains like Buffalo Wild Wings and Pie Five Pizza Co. are popping up more frequently because of our town’s growth and its desirable location. Story continued on page 5.

CHAIR’S MESSAGE

Stop underutilizing your membership Everyone knows networking and referrals are huge benefits of Chamber membership. The connections made and business leads generated are major motivators for getting involved with your local chamber of commerce. But there are so many more benefits to getting involved! Here are some common underutilized benefits of membership: 1. Marketing: Advertising and promotions are an important part of a business. As a member of the Chamber, your business receives exposure on social media sites, in newsletters, on the chamber website, in the business directory and more. Advertising can be expensive, but through the Chamber you can receive free or low-cost ads. Plus you can rest assured knowing your marketing is going directly to local consumers that are engaged in the community. 2. Professional Development: Being an active member of the chamber allows you to work with people from many different industries. Professional development is vital to keep your skills up-to-date and remain a fierce challenge to competitors. Think of this as practice. For example, your favorite sports player must practice daily to keep up with the competition and perfect their skills. It is the same in the business world! The Chamber offers a variety of professional development opportunities for you to keep an eye out for. 3. Advocacy: The Chamber has a great impact on how the community operates, which means your voice can be heard and your actions implemented. The Chamber monitors government activities and represents our members on issues affecting the welfare of businesses. Letting us know about issues and volunteering your time to the organization will increase your influence on community achievements and government affairs. 4. Resources: Making your mark in the community can sometimes be tough, but the 10 helpful and friendly employees at the Chamber will act as resources and do everything in their power to help your business thrive. Their vision statement, “We promise to be your champion in the community, serving your needs to always be part of the solution,” indicates their willingness to help you kick-start your business and your goals. Always feel free to reach out and use the Chamber staff as a resource for your business! For more member benefits your business should take advantage of, contact Membership Director Doug Harmon at [email protected] or (717) 264-7101 ext. 202.

Chamber Travel Club announces 2018 destinations

(CONTINUED FROM COVER)

CADC reports busy year Sciamanna announced at the meeting that CADC, in a 50/50 partnership with CFDC LLC, will make a $600,000 equity investment in Rose Rent Lofts. The project, part of the redevelopment of the old Central Junior High building on the corner of Queen Street and S. Third Street by McKissick Properties, will convert the original 1909 school building into 27 market rate loft apartments. Other investments this year included loans to b.developed for the acquisition of the dilapidated Fort Chambers building on King Street and to GearHouse Brewing Co. for the rehabilitation of the former Cumberland Valley Railroad building on Grant Street. CADC agreed to provide the Borough of Chambersburg up to $100,000 for a portion of a project to refurbish and beautify the Central Parking Lot adjacent to the new Shook Home Therapy Center. CADC partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Franklin County to initiate a Home Again program, which targets vacant houses within downtown to convert back to single-family homes. CADC identified the first home and provided the funds to purchase the property at 153 S. Second St., which Habitat is currently rehabbing. Additionally, CADC supported workforce development initiatives by providing funding to the Coyle Free Library, NETwork Ministries, United Way of Franklin County’s Stepping Forward Works program, Costa Academy and the Greater Chambersburg Chamber Foundation. Sciamanna also announced at the meeting that CADC will make a $15,000 commitment to the construction of the new Franklin County Practical Nursing Program facility on the Franklin County Career and Technology Center campus. While CADC has jumped in on these new initiatives as part of the strategic plan, its 57-year history of supporting local economic development through business parks and managing properties continues. CADC manages six properties, which collectively generate nearly a quarter of a million dollars in local taxes each year – the equivalent of 100 single-family homes. As Sciamanna’s last year with CADC, he took a few moments to remark on his 34 years as executive director: “I am proud of what we have accomplished. It is hard to believe Orchard Drive has been open for nearly 25 years. The 350 acre Chambers-5 business park has brought over 200 jobs, more than 40 businesses and over $150 million of new investment to Chambersburg. Can you remember when Fifth Avenue made a sharp left turn to join Norland Avenue at the underpass? The relocated avenue laid the groundwork for the extension of Norland Avenue and eventual connection to exit 17. Can anyone imagine Chambersburg without exit 17 and all the positive development along Norland? How about the restoration of the 1915 historic downtown marble bank building, the improvements along the Falling Spring and the restoration of the Capitol Theatre? CADC was instrumental in all of these important projects. “My point is simple; CADC has been a constant in the successful economic evolution of Chambersburg over the past 30 years. And it will continue to be a driver of progress for years to come. Thank you for your support.”

Industry and small business grows

The residents of Chambersburg are extremely supportive of small businesses and make an effort to buy local, so these entrepreneurs find a supportive community to cultivate their business. GearHouse Brewing Co. is a great example of this. They opened with an outpouring of excitement and patronage from the community. People want a local experience, and they want to have pride in the businesses in their community, so they are supportive of entrepreneurs. In addition to business growth throughout the Chambersburg area, the Chamber has seen a significant uptick of interest in businesses locating downtown. The hard work of revitalization efforts from the past few years of Chamber affiliate Downtown Chambersburg Inc. have come to fruition as more investments take place. Multi-million dollar projects by organizations and private investors are underway including the Coyle Free Library, Central Junior High School, The Shook Home Therapy Center and HUB Building. Other largescale investments like the Fort Chambers building, 1 N. Main St. and 15 S. Main St. are in the works. Community-led efforts like the Chambersburg Community Mural Project in summer 2016, which installed two large-scale mosaic murals downtown, have contributed to the vibrancy of downtown. All of this has spurred smaller investments and attracted small business owners. For the first time in years, there are no available Main Street storefronts between King Street and Washington Street. Just in the past year, nearly 20 businesses have either opened, relocated or plan to open downtown. It is fantastic to see our local small business owners and residents recognizing the assets downtown. Downtowns are the heart of a city and region - and having a healthy heart is essential to having a strong town. With the community working together, we can revitalize downtown and make it a vibrant destination for business and leisure. However, the answer isn’t revitalizing downtown alone. Downtowns and surrounding areas along with industry and small business must work symbiotically to grow the economy. Strengthening our downtown core will complement the development happening throughout the area, which will attract more people to live here while encouraging investors and entrepreneurs to seek opportunities here, in turn improving quality of life for Chambersburg as a whole making it

Center for Life Enhancement 301 Philadelphia Ave., Chambersburg, PA 17201 www.C4LE.com │ 717-977-5547

The Center for Life Enhancement (C4LE) offers two types of Biofeedback. Both can help improve stress management, deepen inner awareness and increase calm, relaxed focus. Biofeedback training is customized specifically for your individual needs and can be combined with traditional talk therapy. Neurofeedback Training uses an electroencephalogram (EEG) to make your brain’s electrical activity available in real-time, so that you can learn to alter your brain’s electrical timing for improved function. Many mental health disorders appear to be associated with irregular electrical activity in the brain and nervous system. Heart Rate Variability Training uses a pulse sensor to measure and display the timing and rhythm of your heart beat. When our heart’s rhythm and our breathing are more regulated, we achieve a state of better physiological and emotional balance. C4LE is headed by Michelle Little, who is a certified rehabilitation counselor, as well as a licensed professional counselor. The techniques Michelle uses strengthen the mind-body connection to help adolescents and adults with anxiety, trauma, depression, migraines and adjustment issues. Her holistic approach has been refined over the past 15 years by both personal and professional experiences. C4LE is located in downtown Chambersburg and appointments can be made online at www.C4LE.com.

Leroy’s Lawn Service, LLC 1811 Hartzok Road, Chambersburg, PA 17202 [email protected] │ 717-377-8817

Leroy’s Lawn Service, LLC didn’t begin with a vision of spending sunshine filled days riding around mowing beautiful lawns. While riding lawn mowers is part of our job, it certainly doesn’t end there. We also spend a lot of time on our knees planting flowers, weeding, mulching and spraying. It is our belief that hands in the soil dedication is and will continue to be the backbone of our business and the beauty of our customer’s landscapes in the years ahead. Beginning in 2006, people have often chosen our company because of our local “can do” attitude with a country boy twist. Our experience in excavation and agriculture has added a few side roads to our core offerings of lawn care and hardscape creations. When earth needs to be moved, our equipment list of a tri-axle dump truck, skid loader and mini excavator answers the call of many light excavating jobs. And when it is time for the earthen scar to be healed with green grass, our hydro seeder and finish grading equipment are up to the task. So, if your home or business is needing slate or stone on the road ahead, don’t hesitate to give us a call; we would be glad to deliver. And yes, if you need a hand with the flowerbeds, we do that to! Want to spotlight your business?

PA CHAMBER UPDATE

Pension reform measure becomes law

In a whirlwind of activity in June, the General Assembly passed and sent to Gov. Tom Wolf an important public pension reform bill that will help to rein in the what has been unsustainable growth of the state pension systems, shift a significant portion of the risk from potentially under-performing investments off of state taxpayers and help to secure the future sustainability of state and public school employees’ retirement plans. Gov. Wolf signed the bill on June 12.

Bipartisan efforts and a push by Gov. Wolf, a Democrat, were heavily attributed to the bill’s passing after years of disagreement on the issue. “This is real and meaningful pension reform,” Gov. Wolf said. “Today is another example of how we can work across party lines … This is a win for taxpayers.”

Senate Bill 1, which was passed 40-9 by the Senate and 143-53 by the House, offers a choice of three new retirement plan options for new employees hired after 2019 within the State Employees Retirement System and the Public School Employees Retirement System, along with an opt-in provision for current workers. Two of the choices offer hybrid defined benefit, defined contribution plans, while the third option is a defined contribution, 401k-style plan.

Keystone Real Estate Settlement Services Inc.

Prior to the Senate and House votes on the bill, the PA Chamber sent memos to both chambers urging their support for the measure. The memos noted that while our organization is ready to support additional steps to mitigate rising costs in the near term, we believe that S.B. 1 will put the state pension systems on a better path to stability and sustainability. These beliefs are strengthened through findings by the education advocacy organization PennCAN, which has found that few teachers do better under the existing PSERS pension plan than they would under a plan like S.B. 1; and from the Pew Charitable Trusts, which has noted that the bill would be one of the most if not the most - comprehensive and impactful reform any state has implemented.
