As a Western New York Chamber with a Regional Vision, we 
are committed to creating smart growth by supporting a Community Development Plan that will provide a blueprint for adaptive re-use of underutilized or outdated properties.
The Chamber also promotes issues that foster growth and prosperity in the business community and annually releases its Public Policy Agenda, an aggressive strategy for a stronger, more vibrant region.
- To review current status of town’s economy
as it relates to employment, building vacancies and job creation. - To develop consensus for need for in-fill projects that may increase parcel density.
- To work with regional economic development agencies to promote our findings and instigate investment.
- To interface with the membership to solicit policy issues at all levels of government for our consideration.
- To host Public Officials Briefings with our elected officials, on both sides of the aisle at all levels of government, for the purpose of nurturing relationships and communicating our positions.
- To develop an Annual Public Policy Agenda that identifies the issues we will be supporting.
