Chamber Releases Statement Supporting ‘Vote Yes for Vigo County Schools’

The Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce is committed to Building Business, Building Community. We believe that thriving businesses, a thriving economy, and a thriving quality of life are the means to increase our population and talent attraction pipeline. Our region’s success lies in population growth and enhancing our workforce, and we, alongside the community, have invested heavily towards this goal through the creation of the See You In Terre Haute 2025 Community Plan.

One of the most essential aspects for the success of talent attraction and retention is a high-quality educational system. Building a quality, efficient and progressive school system will ultimately enhance our economic well-being for our county, businesses and community at large. Our businesses will reap the rewards of having people choose Vigo County. This is not just an educational matter, it’s an all-encompassing community impact matter.

The Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors stands behind Vote Yes for the Vigo County Schools as it seeks to modernize our educational facilities. Though these types of improvements come with a cost, they are the type of long-term investments that will bring us long-term gains. Let’s invest in ourselves by voting Yes for Vigo County Schools on May 3rd.
