Chamber Supports Creative Economy Recovery - Joins Coalition of Chambers and Americans for the Arts

5/5/2021

 
The Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce is approaching the proposed Infrastructure Bill from an agnostic standpoint.  We are not debating whether the Infrastructure Bill should be passed. Our funding request support is based on IF it is passed. In the case of the following blog, if the Bill passes, we support allocating dollars to help the arts recover in this shaky economy.
The Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce joined a coalition of 113 chambers of commerce in 46 states to deliver a letter to U.S. House and Senate leadership asking that $18 billion be allocated within the forthcoming infrastructure recovery bills specifically to support creative economic recovery. The businesses represented by these chambers collectively serve over 33 million Americans. 

Spearheaded by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, and Americans for the Arts, the letter asserts that dedicated recovery funds for the creative economy are essential to getting local small businesses and economies back on their feet. The letter was built on two previous letters of support (May 2020, August 2020) for relief and recovery efforts to help the arts, culture, and the creative sector.
