The proposed Forks Business Association

On a 5 to 0 vote, the Forks Board of Supervisors approved a motion supporting the formation of a Forks Business Association.

The board heard presentations from the Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, Two Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce(TRACC) , and the representative of the proposed Forks Business Association (Brian Lokitis, Unity Bank VP, Senior Relationship Manager). Brian explained the proposed relationship between the Forks association and the other Lehigh Valley chamber organizations.

Brian stated " The current business owners feel disconnected with the BoS, the township, and other Forks businesses". The new business organization would help bridge these gaps and help create a better business environment in Forks Township. Additionally, he explained we need to "create partnerships in these tough economic times". I could not agree more!

I am hoping the Forks Business Associations will determine why so many Forks business fail.  The Forks Business Association is a really good idea!

 

Get involved! Every Voice Counts!
