Champaign County Chamber of Commerce: Support for local businesses

10/3/2022

 
Picture
We love to see a business grand opening, but the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce is more than big scissors and red ribbons. Our Chamber has been around for over 100 years, providing much needed support to local businesses. You might be wondering, what is a chamber of commerce. Typically, a chamber of commerce is a group of businesses that support the interest of its members. So, this makes it a member driven organization. The idea of a chamber of commerce goes back all the way to 1599, when the first chamber was introduced in France. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce was established in 1912. Our own Chamber of Commerce was established in 1919.
 A chamber of commerce provides networking for business owners along with free publicity and access to discounts. Our Chamber has partnered with Business Equipment Company to provide goods and services to members. The Chamber also has a boardroom that is free for members to use. The Champaign County Chamber also hosts events such as an Annual Golf Outing, the Chamber Night at the Races and their Annual Dinner that is happening tonight at Wren Farms.

Our Chamber also has several programs such as iLead for Young Professionals, Leadership Champaign County, Safety Council and the Local Ag Council. A part of the Chamber is also the Visitors Bureau. The Visitor’s Bureau showcases the array of activities Champaign County has to offer. Check out their website for the current activities happening throughout the County.

The former Q3 now a space for community growth

9/26/2022

 
A rendering of the new Q3 building in Urbana. Home to Community Health & Wellnesss Partners
Living in Urbana, everyone recognized the run-down building located on Miami St. Abandoned in 2008, the building known as the former Johnson building or Q3, sat vacant until 2017 when the city took ownership and began the arduous process of cleaning and restoring the property. 
From that point, Marcia Bailey, former director of the Champaign Economic Partnership (CEP), along with the city began to work with True inspection Servis (TIS) and Orbis to redevelop the existing building and sell the remaining parcels. 

​All of that hard work has come to fruition in the past few weeks as we saw the Grand Opening of the Community Health and Wellness Partners new facility in the old building and Orbis officially became the owners of the remaining parcels. At the ribbon cutting, guests were treated to a tour of the new facility. They had pictures of various locations that depicted what the original building looked like. A testament to hard work and dedication, and seeing the potential beyond the current reality, the new Johnson's building stands as a shining example of not judging a book, or a city, by its cover.
