What happened to the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce? A goggle search says permanatly closed. No web site. What happened to the strawberry Festival?
It was replaced with the Triangle East Chamber https://www.facebook.com/triangleeastchamber https://www.triangleeastchamber.com/about-us/ Under the leadership of the prior Board Chairs and past Presidents, Rick Childrey and Mike Mancuso, The Triangle East Chamber now represents 9 communities in the county: Selma, Smithfield, Pine Level, Princeton, Archer Lodge, Kenly, Wilson Mills, Micro, and Cleveland. The Triangle East Region of North Carolina, is made up of communities at the Eastern tip of the Raleigh Triangle strategically located at the center of commerce on the East Coast of the United States, with access to a qualified workforce, North, South, East & West Interstates & Class A Rail. You will find no better market for Distribution and Manufacturing for the eastern half of the country. Since 1970, the Greater Smithfield-Selma Area Chamber of Commerce has been a strong economic force with a big picture outlook for Smithfield, Selma, and their neighboring communities. During 2018, the Smithfield-Selma Chamber put their vision for a strong, unified region into action and reached out to area towns for support. The communities of Archer Lodge, Cleveland, Kenly, Micro, Pine Level, Princeton, and Wilson’s Mills all responded with enthusiasm. Together, the communities have created a new name to represent the partnership of all 9 communities: Triangle East. As the eastern section of the Triangle Region of North Carolina, this community-led choice of identity connects the region to the thriving economic and educational environment to which it already belongs. This region is growing exponentially and each unique town working in cooperation with the Triangle East Chamber, contributing their individual perspectives, will only open up more opportunities for the future of Johnston County. This new era is one of inclusivity, bringing the history, voices, and resources of each town to a partnership meant to work toward a strong and thriving future for all of the citizens in the region. I don't see the Strawberry Festival on their events page, so they must not be doing it any more.
Feels like they are more focused on the larger area now and new businesses opening than small events like this.
