PROGRAM:
Silas Chamberlin serves as the Vice President of Community & Economic Development for the York County Economic Alliance. Launched at the onset of 2020, Silas has presided over the creation of the County’s Economic Action Plan. This ten-year plan was done in coordination and collaboration with York County government, the County Planning Commission, and the City of York. To assist this planning effort, a nationally recognized, Pittsburgh-based firm Fourth Economy was enlisted. This Economic Action Plan hopes to align strategies, goals, and objectives across our County to best position our community for success. Silas will report on the draft Economic Action Plan and share some of the highlights and where Rotarians can learn more about this exciting plan for York County’s future. Silas is scheduled to present his program virtually.
