Public Policy

The Matthews Chamber of Commerce advocates for reliable, long-term government and policy support to ensure sustainable development funding for affordable housing.

Regulation of the business community must have clear policy objectives, be consistently enforced, and be a cost-effective means of achieving its objective.

We support strategic transportation investments that prioritize funding of public transportation and infrastructure.

We support legislation and initiatives that promote attainable education, training and partnerships for entrepreneurial development, and affordable childcare. We support education through the local school systems and higher education yet also promote training for specific job skills and technical knowledge.
