In an effort to keep Chamber Members informed about the health of the economy , an Economic Forecast Breakfast is held each year. This event is designed to give a snapshot of the economic health of the nation, the state, and the county by experts in the field as they strive to explain the impacts of financial health on the business community. Participants often ask questions during the event that initiative lively discussions about this incredibly important topic and its impact on area businesses.
Also under this initiative the CDCC has formed a Transportation Committee. The Transportation Committee, dedicated to improving all transportation infrastructures needed for business growth, works closely with the Delaware Dept. of Transportation, the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Delaware Transportation Management Association. The committee continually focuses on wider transportation and infrastructure issues.
