Delco Chamber Eyes Future Gains From 1977-78 Year
Delco Chamber of Commerce officials called the 1977 78 activity year exciting and predicted greater gains in coming years. At the 48th annual meeting at the Media Inn they cited the Delaware County Economic Development Center project on Baltimore Pike Nether Providence and the county economic development efforts as major accomplishments. Parry praised Jack L Peters of PECo for continuing as chair of economic development. He highlighted tourism yielding 96 million in traceable dollars last year and 313 000 in tax revenue for the county, with only 70 000 in chamber investment. Future benefits hinge on consolidating mass transit and highway committees and studying a foreign trade zone.
