Board Highlights: March 2017
Mark Faanes, chair of the president's search committee reported that there are three final candidates who will be interviewed again the week of April 3 and then an offer will be made.
The essential Air Service funding is in President Trump's proposed budget. This would impact one-third of all airports in the US, including the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport. The Chamber has reached out to our Congressional delegation, and currently Senator Baldwin and Representative Kind have indicated they will fight to keep the funding. The Chamber has not heard back from Senator Johnson.
Representatives of the City/County Health Department and City Staff presented information on the "Proposed Changes to the Housing Maintenance Ordinance". Members may reach out to the City Attorney's Office or City/County Health Department for details.
