| Kent Hojem, Chamber Board Chairman, emcees annual breakfast |
The Chamber's first Economic Forecast and Rising Star Awards Breakfast on January 22nd presented an optimistic outlook for Puyallup and Sumner in 2015. Puyallup shared information about new car dealerships planned in downtown and reported an 11% increase in sales tax in 2014. Housing prices and sales are slightly on the rise in our communities and continued Sound Transit growth includes additional trains in 2016 and 2017. Sumner presented information on the new YMCA which is scheduled to open this summer and will serve 22,000 people as well as information about new development in the industrial area.
A big Chamber thank you to our presenting sponsor, Puget Sound Energy, our title sponsor, Columbia bank, our investor sponsor, Pierce County, and all of our attending members for supporting our event. See you next year.
