COLUMBIA â The Columbia Chamber of Commerce announced its 2021 legislative agenda Thursday.
The document highlights five priorities and lists the Chamber s positions on other issues. Columbia Chamber of Commerce President Matt McCormick says everything in the agenda came from member businesses. We get input and feedback from our business community, from our members, from our board of directors and also our legislators on top priorities that they want to see that they need for businesses to be successful, McCormick said.
One priority in 2021 is support for funding of transportation, specifically in regards to Interstate 70 improvements. The Chamber had advocated in years past for the I-70 Rocheport Bridge Replacement slated to begin construction late in 2021.Â
