Martinsville-Henry County Chamber's Partnership for Economic Growth (C-PEG) is an independent, yet closely aligned, charitable affiliate of the Chamber of Commerce. Led by a separate Board of Directors, C-PEG is charged with funding and supporting the area's efforts to improve economic growth. Business and community leaders face many economic challenges. We can all get involved--both at work and at home--to ensure that the community has the resources needed to recruit new businesses and industries and help existing companies with retention and expansion. The Chamber encourages its members to join this alliance to invest additional dollars in economic development as a tax-deductible contribution.
