Loomis Chamber of Commerce

Having been a member of the Loomis Chamber of Commerce for over 10 years, it appears to me that the role of the chamber has been more of a social activity for it's members. One of it's main tasks is the monthly mixers. They have had quarterly informational scessions for the local bussinesses. Unlike other chamber that are very pro active for attracting bussiness to thier community, the Loomis Chamber has not been in that role for years. The current staff people are there as office employees and not as an executive director. The last time the Chamber actively tried to improve the bussiness climate in Loomis was then Hazel Hineline was executive director over 15 years ago. Hazel was active in getting new bussiness to come to Loomis.
I have met with the Chamber and they have been helpful in forming a committee headed by Vicki Morris to make suggestions on some things the council might do to help bussiness like downtown directional signs. I am still waiting to hear the response from the other council members of this proposal as it has been delayed for 3 months.

Downtown Needs Help

I am very concerned about the vacant store fronts. I have made several proposals at the Council meeting to address this problem but have not gotten any support from the rest of the Council. I have proposed meeting with the proptery owners and bussiness owners to see what could be done but was told "this is up to the Chamber of Commerce to do" I suggested directional signs to downtown like Auburn, Roseville and many other cities have but again no response. I asked that we get a Farmer's MArket back as we had. Again no support
I will continue in my efforts to inmprove the bussiness climate in downtown. Sooner or later this will happen
