Montcross Tomorrow
Montcross Tomorrow is an economic growth initiative of the Montcross Area Chamber of Commerce and funded by the chamber and the Montcross Tomorrow Chamber Foundation, Inc.
Montcross Tomorrow is a program created and directed by the Montcross Area Chamber of Commerce. Montcross Tomorrow exists to practically and personally serve its members through a team of industry leading professionals who specialize in marketing, efficiency, culture, and leadership development. The backbone of our nation is the small business owner, our communities are no different. The small business owner, the local entrepreneur, will influence and craft the growth and impact of our communities. We exist to serve them.
Goals
- Provide marketing and communications expertise positioning the Montcross Area Chamber through Montcross Tomorrow as the economic growth voice for our members and communities we serve. An advanced Web platform will manage new and increased stakeholder opportunities with interactive technology. Social media platforms will tell the story of each of our towns in eastern Gaston County to support and complement their efforts.
- Assist our small businesses in their recovery and growth. Montcross Tomorrow views 2021, 2022, and 2023, as opportunities for impressive growth, the recapturing and expanding of markets, and new beginnings for the more than 2000 small businesses in our market area. The targeted programming of the Montcross merge will help overcome one support, Montcross Tomorrow will provide solutions to assist small businesses to thrive, not merely survive.
- Attract remote workers to our communities as a new economic growth opportunity. There will be a staggering 87% increase in the number of remote workers in our workforce compared to prior to the pandemic. Our goal will be to position our Montcross communities to embrace, endorse, and capitalize on attracting remote workers to our area to create wealth, buy homes, pay taxes, and become new consumers. By attracting these higher income individuals and families to live, work, and love our communities, we will create new economic opportunities and enhance our quality of life. We see this as a new economic strategy for each of our six communities.
- To build consumer confidence and help us emerge, we will work cooperatively with the health community to assure everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated is given the opportunity. To promote and support health and social impact in the communities we serve we will create a “Healthy People - Healthy Business” web page which will educate and promote a healthy balanced lifestyle. Montcross Tomorrow will assist the area’s hospitals, medical community and public health agencies in connecting businesses and the public to assure every eligible person is given the opportunity to receive proper health care, vaccinations and health screenings. The Montcross Area Chamber has added events to the program that include family Fun Days which partners with local non-profit organizations, athletic facilities, businesses and towns for hiking, kayaking, boating, work-out challenges, etc. These events promote a healthy balanced lifestyle for the entire family.
