The award presentation will be one of several made during the chamber’s yearly Economic Development Luncheon, to be held Oct. 20 (2010; Wednesday) from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the new Copperfield Inn at Lakeside, Ridge Pike, Limerick. Tickets for the event are still available.
Billed as “one of the Chamber’s largest networking events of (its) program year,” the luncheon represents the chamber’s chance to look back at local business accomplishments of the past 12 months, and to do some forecasting for its members about what lies ahead.
Lower Pottsgrove and Limerick municipal officials, working with Montgomery County and state agencies, have signed cooperative planning agreements and pledged to work together to solve common problems with land use, traffic management, and controlled growth at the interchange, parts of which lie in each township at their common border. They also hired the Montgomery County Economic Development Corp. to market and attract business to the area.
Also scheduled to receive awards during the program are Pope John Paul II High School in Royersford PA, for economic development; the Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation,for economic impact; state Sen. John Rafferty, who represents both townships and Pottstown borough, as Legislator of the Year; and Cabot Supermetals in Boyertown PA, for environmental impact.
“Transition to a Competitive Energy Market” will be the focus of the luncheon keynote presentation made by Denis O’Brien, executive vice president of Exelon Corp., and president and chief executive officer of PECO. O’Brien has more than 25 years of utility experience in engineering, operations, strategic planning and executive management. PECO is Pennsylvania ’s largest electric and natural gas utility.
