June 2026 Advocacy Committee Meeting - Chico Economic Vitality Strategy

What industries should Chico be recruiting?

What opportunities are we missing?

And what will it take to ensure our community remains competitive for future business investment?

Join us at the next Chico Chamber Advocacy Committee meeting for an important update on Chico's Economic Vitality Strategy, a community-wide effort designed to create a roadmap for economic growth, business attraction, and long-term prosperity.

Audrey Taylor, economic development strategist with Chabin Concepts, will share progress on the strategy, including insights gathered from local businesses and community stakeholders. She'll also provide an update on recent findings from economist Dr. Robert Eyler's regional economic analysis and community engagement efforts, which are helping inform the strategy's recommendations and priorities.

We'll also hear an update from Everybody Healthy Body on the progress of its vision to develop expanded recreation and sports facilities that support healthy, active lifestyles and create new opportunities for residents throughout Butte County.

Whether you're interested in economic development, workforce growth, community investment, or the future direction of Chico, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
