Carbon County Chamber Nature & Commerce Committee, Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau Release 2 New Conservation Focused Videos

The Carbon Chamber & Economic Development Corporation Nature and Commerce Committee in partnership with the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau is proud to release two new videos focused on conservation in our area--

-- Carbon County Clean Water  

-- Successful Economic Development In Carbon County

The vision of the Nature and Commerce Committee is to promote conservation-oriented programs, plans and policies that help grow the local economy.  

These new video messages created in partnership with the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau will help to educate the local community on the importance of conserving our wildlands and water in addition to re-purposing available properties and blighted buildings for economic growth.

Committee goals include advocating for conservation-oriented programs, plans and policies that complement the local economy, and working with partners to identify conservation and economic development-oriented projects.

The Committee will leverage existing resources and expertise, as well as new funding, to see the projects implemented and help establish Carbon County, its Planning Commission and the CCEDC as a leader in nature and commerce.

“We encourage our residents and community leaders to share the video links with others as we work together to educate, inspire and collaborate to conserve the natural gems in our County while growing our local economy” says Kathy Henderson, Director of Economic Development.

Both videos can be viewed and shared at the Discover Carbon County website. 

If you have a program or project that aligns with our goals, please let us know by contacting us through the chamber office.

The Carbon Chamber and Economic Development Corp. is a proud partner of The Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.
