The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry has once again joined nearly fifty Chambers across the state in urging the Illinois Legislature to provide additional economic and regulatory relief for businesses. Chambers All In for Economic Recovery is a collaboration of chambers across Illinois. The coalition calls on the Illinois Legislature to prioritize economic and regulatory relief for Illinois’ businesses. It is the mission of all chambers to support our respective business communities and help ensure that businesses can thrive for years to come. 

Last spring, Chambers All In for Economic Recovery launched its inaugural platform. The coalition releases its updated platform for 2022.  

If enacted, the coalition identified a platform that would create a foundation for economic recovery. The platform includes ways to help diminish the financial hardships businesses face amid a labor shortage, spur economic development, and recover from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Nearly 50 chambers from across the state representing thousands of businesses and hundreds of thousands of employees call for the legislature to champion this platform and provide relief to the business community.

“The replenishing of the Unemployment Trust Fund, ensuring legal protections for employers following COVID protocol, restructuring the minimum wage tax credit incremental phase-out, and extending the EDGE credit sunset clause are essential to the recovery of our state and regional economy,” stated Jen Howard, chamber President.

Additionally, the community can engage with the initiative by following the Chamber on social media at Facebook (@jolietchamberofcommerceandindustry), LinkedIn (Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry), and Twitter (@jolietchamber).
