Chamber Welcome

On behalf of the over 700 members of the Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce, let me welcome you to the Susquehanna Valley. You will find the Valley an enthusiastic mix of natives and transplants and will soon realize you’ve found a new home. We are a four-county region united by the river, though each of our communities has maintained its own unique identity and charm.

If you are a long-term resident, you already know the unmatched quality of life, rich heritage and opportunities that abound in the region. You are familiar with our excellent healthcare, exceptional universities, tech schools, public education and a strong push to add a community college. You appreciate the mid-Pennsylvania lifestyle, yet know you are just a few hours drive from almost half of the country’s population.

The Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce has forged partnerships with key business, education and government agencies to promote growth, create new opportunities for our members and the Valley, and to celebrate the many qualities that make this region a great place to work and live. Geographically we serve Snyder, Union, Northumberland and Montour counties, though one in seven of our members is based outside the area, which brings true meaning to the concept of regionalism.

You will see Chamber members that possess an “uncommon dedication” to the region and a strong, thriving Chamber. We are a membership organization and have created an organizational culture of retention and recruitment. While the staff plays an important role and does terrific work, it is the collective efforts of the Chamber Ambassadors, our loyal members and our Board in combination with the quality of programs, economic development efforts, affinity programs and community involvement the Chamber delivers that our members recognize as invaluable.

On the economic development side, SIDCO, the Susquehanna Industrial Development Corporation, has completed and is actively marketing the Pawling Station Industrial Park and its 48 acres of prime industrially zoned real estate in Selinsgrove. We welcome a new retail mall called Monroe Marketplace and also encourage downtown visits with their unique shopping and restaurant opportunities. We continue to advocate strongly for the Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway and Penn Valley Airport, both of which are essential to the long-term development of the Valley.

Our community development efforts continue to be strong. Municipal planning, Downtown Affiliates, Leadership Susquehanna Valley, national-level recognition for our publications and a myriad of special events, business and educational programs and networking opportunities demonstrate that this is an extremely vibrant and active Chamber.

We do hope you will use this membership directory as a handy resource for all things Susquehanna Valley, and if you don’t find it here, please visit our website at www.gsvcc.org or give us a call at 570-743-4100 or 1-800-410-2880. After all we work for you.
