The town will be holding a Zoning/Planning meeting this coming Monday, July 17, 2023 at 6:30 pm at town hall.

The agenda will include discussions on new proposed developments in our community. As business owners, responsible development is generally seen as a positive. It attracts new potential clients, and allows the proverbial tide to raise all of our ships. Personally, I understand that there are very strong feelings on both sides of the issue.

The mission statement of our chamber is:

“To promote commercial and business prosperity in Rising Sun and it’s surrounding communities and to promote growth and development of businesses and professional services, both large and small, with respect to improving both commercial and residential conditions.”

The Rising Sun Chamber thinks that it is important that our chamber members are aware of issues that can directly impact not only our businesses, but our lives. Some chamber members plan on attending the meeting as a somewhat neutral, but pro-business observer. It would be appreciated to see some smiling faces at the meeting to represent our business community. The Chamber is always available to address any questions or concerns.
