GREATER PITTSTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEMBER INCENTIVES
For over 90 years the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce has served as the organization through which business executives, professional people and other concerned citizens have united to provide leadership and direction for the economic and social development of the Greater Pittston Area.
The collective efforts of the Chamber members have brought needed improvements in our region’s economy and many other areas of community life. Few of these advances could have been accomplished on an individual basis. But we cannot be content to rest on the strength of our past successes, because there will always be new challenges for improving the economic climate and quality of life in the region.
GREATER PITTSTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
