Huntley Chamber Of Commerce Reports On Community Growth
By Cathy DeQuaker
Huntley is on the grow! Construction is going on for a new 28,000 sq. ft. factory, a strip mall shopping center has its foundation in and several new businesses have moved into town. Huntley Factory Shops, an outlet mall, has passed the Planning Commission. The next step is approval by the Village Board on Sept. 9. If it passes at that time, groundbreaking could be as soon as October. Positive business activity breeds more business!
The six-month trial period of the Huntley Chamber's Greeter Service has been completed. The success of the service was encouraging and motivating. Members and non-members are welcome to participate. Participants in the service provide valuable coupons and
information for new residents and businesses. New residents are greeted by a Chamber greeter who is also a Board member. New businesses are greeted by Chamber Executive Director, Cathy DeQuaker.
The Board would like to thank Huntley Police Officer Kevin Hillner and Undersheriff William Mullens, who spoke on gangs at a recent general membership meeting. This educational background allowed business men and women to understand the growing problem in the county and in our own community.
The next general membership meeting will be held Thursday, Oct., at 7:30am. Pat Conway of the Conway Financial Group will be the speaker. Contact the Chamber office if you are interested in attending.
