Metro Chamber Releases Local and State Policy Platform

The Metro Chamber released its 2019 Local and State Policy Platform, supporting policies that are consistent with the creation of a vibrant urban core, significantly increased housing for all income levels, a more diversified and inclusive economy, and a strong workforce. We believe endorsing data driven, evidence-based policies and practices that support business start-up, innovation, expansion and attraction will create a healthy and thriving business environment for all.

The Policy Platform includes eight issue areas, with a limited number of focused objectives. The goal of our Policy Platform is to establish a focused framework for developing and responding to local, state and national issues that positively or adversely affect our community and our members. The Metro Chamber uses its Policy Platform to inform communication with elected leaders and members, and to guide its engagement on community efforts.

Thank you to the member representatives of the Metro Chamber’s Advocacy Council, who volunteered their time and expertise in the establishment of this Local and State Policy Platform.
