Thank you to our members who attended and sponsored the McLean County Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee's Annual Reception on October 23rd. It was a great opportunity for business leaders to connect with our elected leaders. PAC Chairman Ryan Scritchlow moderated a Fireside Chat with newly elected Mayor Dan Brady where key topics were covered including Downtown Bloomington development, housing, taxes, water, and more. Our members appreciated the insights.
