WELCOME
to Carlisle
Welcome to our new and updated Membership Directory. As we start our 108th year, the Chamber has pivoted and is finding new ways to help our area businesses to grow and thrive in our new economic environment. Through the ebbs and flows of business during the past 100 years, the Chamber has endured. Working with 700 businesses of all sizes, we make sure that we listen to you and work to ensure that we can meet your needs to keep you on track to success. This year, the Chamber expanded its role in the area of business development by providing support in finding revenue streams to keep our member businesses moving forward, fundraising with the help of the PA 30 Day fund to provide $3,000 forgivable loans to member businesses; virtual programs offering human resources training with the Carlisle Area Human Resources Group; marketing, healthcare, networking and legal support through virtual programming; the creation of the Carlisle Business Equity Initiative with Dickinson College; and the expanded role of our foundation, the Carlisle Business Education Foundation.
The Chamber is consistently working to Michelle Hornick Crowley meet member needs through constant review and by listening to our members. Some of the newest methods of meeting member needs is the development of the Carlisle Area Chamber App. This App, sponsored by Belco Community Credit Union, gives the greater Carlisle community the ability to quickly learn about member businesses, redeem Chamber Hot Deals, and search for local jobs. One tool that will help you is the Carlisle Area Chamber Membership Directory and Community Profile, which continues to be an exceptional resource for Chamber Members. From the advertisers and sponsors, to the member listings and editorial content that contains information about our area, the Chamber Directory continues to be on everyone’s desktop. Our Chamber is a “relocation” resource for individuals who are moving into our community for business, personal reasons, or as a student at the US Army War College, Dickinson College, the Penn State Dickinson School of Law, Shippensburg University or the Central Penn Youth Ballet. Many use the Chamber Directory and website to help them in their transition. As you know, we moved into our new historic offices in August 2019. With the shutdown in the Spring, we have had to limit our hours of operation in the building as well as hosting meetings. In the next few months, we are going to be able to reopen with our traditional hours and allow members to use our meeting space for their events, meetings and activities. The Chamber is continuing to partner with our school districts to expand their connections with our area businesses. Students will have the opportunity to explore possible career pathways at younger ages than ever before and are now learning about many different career options. We cannot do any of this it without you – we are in this together! On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Carlisle Area Chamber of Commerce, we are grateful for your support. We are honored to continue serving you in the years to come.

Here What are townships and boroughs? Boroughs are smaller than cities, both geographically and populationwise. Boroughs elect a weak mayor and a council with broad powers, who sometimes hire a manager. Tax assessor, collector and auditors are elected independently. Boroughs generally incorporate from areas of dense populations within a township.
Carlisle was ranked #16 on Livability. com 100 Best Small Towns, and #4 for its Top 10 Best Cities for Veterans. Forbes even ranked Carlisle as one of the cheapest cities to live, as well as a great area to raise a family. Settled by Scots-Irish immigrants in 1751, this historic town is named after
its sister town of Carlisle, England. A hub of activity, Carlisle has hosted notable figures including Declaration of Independence signers James Smith, James Wilson and George Washington, and is home of the Revolutionary War legend Molly Pitcher. *INFORMATION FROM VISITCUMBERLANDVALLEY.COM
Townships began as large parcels of land grants established by William Penn, and were given to a person, family or group of people. Townships are divided into two classes and are represented by commissioners or supervisors. Some townships have home-rule charters, allowing for a mayor/council form of government. Cumberland County is broken down into 33 local munici-palities which includes 11 boroughs and 22 townships. Living Here 7

BUSINESS, Industry TRANSPORTATION Carlisle is nestled in beautiful Cumberland Valley, which includes Cumberland County and the surrounding region in South Central Pennsylvania.
The Cumberland Valley’s unique regional position makes it an ideal and valuable location to connect businesses, suppliers and customers with access to some of the most crucial highway systems in the eastern United States. Cumberland Valley boasts the only setting that brings together Interstates 81, 83, 76 and U.S. 11/15, all major routes of transportation of goods. Utilizing this highway system, it is only a 2-3 hour drive to most cities on the northeast corridor, including New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Pittsburgh. The region is also within a 10-hour drive of over 50% of the U.S. population. Major employers in government, healthcare, retail, transportation and warehousing industries appreciate the value of this location, bringing business and jobs to the region. Thanks to this, the county’s unemployment rate is consistently one of the lowest in the state. In 2020, the county's unemployment rate was 4.8%, while the statewide unemployment rate was 7.0%.
DID YOU KNOW: n Cumberland County holds the AAA Bond rating
from Standard & Poor’s rating services. This means that, among other things, the county has a strong economy and diverse employment base that is consistently expanding.
n Cumberland County is a 3rd class county; class is determined based on the county’s population, ranging from 1st to 8th class. n There are three major military facilities in the region: Carlisle Barracks/U.S. Army War College in Carlisle; the Naval Support Station in Mechanicsburg; and the Defense Logistics Agency in New Cumberland. Not only do these facilities support the national security of our country, they also employ civilian personnel and aid in boosting a strong local economy. n Cumberland County has grown the most out of all 67 counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in recent years.
