ESCANABA It’s just seven weeks into 2021 and here we are again with a reminder that it is a very special year for the Delta County Chamber of Commerce as we celebrate the Chamber Centennial. We are so thankful to our members who have allowed us to serve the community and support the growth of business and industry in Delta County for the last century.
Looking back at news archives over the last 100 years, it is obvious that the Chamber was actively involved in the strengthening of local business and community development. As an example, it was reported that the Chamber, in its first decade, was instrumental in leading the charge for the formation of Escanaba’s city manager form of government and launching the legislative movement that financially supported school districts. In the not-too-distant past, the Chamber continued its mission of community development by forming several community and economic development organizations.
