Welcome to

Otsego/Plainwell

We expanded the scope of our office space to be a regional Visitor’s Center, where people can stop in to learn about all the tourism opportunities in our region.

Our mission is to support businesses and encourage strong leadership in the Otsego-Plainwell community. We are determined to bring community partners together for the betterment of all. This Chamber strives to advance this region by educating, energizing, and connecting business leaders.

Our Chamber has a bright future with a growing and active new vision for the future.

Join us for a monthly Board Meeting! You will meet our leadership team, as well as hear from a local guest speaker each month. We meet the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 am. We hold our meetings at different Chamber Member locations.

Early in 2021, our Executive Board had a goal to develop a comprehensive organized Strategic Business Plan that reflects and inspires growth of our Chamber. Our priorities for this coming year were built on our Chamber’s value to members, while we invest in the entire Otsego-Plainwell community.

There are ten specific goals for the year! Among those goals, and to help our member’s businesses, we provide a variety of networking, advertising, educational, and social opportunities over the course of a calendar year.

Please review our community calendar on our website for opportunities where you can help make a positive difference in our community. We will continue to pursue excellence in all that we are doing at our Chamber!

Otsego and Plainwell are excellent places to do business and a fabulous community in which to live. Remember that local purchases all support our community and our schools. As your Chamber of Commerce President, I encourage you to be active in the community and in our Chamber!

We also support collaborative efforts with the other local Michigan Chambers such as Wayland & Allegan. Regionally we are now partnered with West Michigan Tourist Association and the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. These groups provide additional opportunities for our members to initiate or build business relationships.

Thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you.

Sincerely, Jim Szilagyi 2020-2022 Board President

The Chamber’s office was remodeled in 2021 to present a sleek, professional space largely through member donations.

Executive Director - Welcome

On behalf of our OtsegoPlainwell Area Chamber of Commerce—Welcome!

My name is Jenny Boerman, and I became the Executive Director in June of 2018. I was raised in Plainwell and graduated from Plainwell H.S in 1997, then headed not too far to the south to Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.

There I received a Bachelor Jenny Boerman Degree in Tourism, and minor in Business in 2002.

Executive Director I came to the Chamber Otsego-Plainwell Area with experience in Chamber of Commerce marketing, event planning, sales and business operation management. Partnered with experience, I have a drive to promote the best interests of a city, and the businesses

and organizations that are working hard to build prosperity into its community. I am enthusiastic about Otsego and Plainwell, not because it’s where I grew up and where I live now, but also because I love the small town charm and the friendly people here.

Our Chamber is currently 205 members strong. A year of membership brings opportunities to expand your business or organization, and grow our strength and unity in the community.

All regions do benefit where its businesses and community groups come together in partnership with their local chamber.

According to the Shapiro Group, 49% of consumers are more likely to think favorably of a local business if it is a member of a local Chamber, and 80% are more likely to purchase a product or service from a Chamber member. Membership will foster invaluable business connections through networking opportunities such as our “After Hours Business Mixers” and our Lunch & Learns. The Chamber promotes your business and the Otsego-Plainwell communities on our website, through social media, hosting events, and organizing festivals.

So, join us! I’d love to tell you more about our Chamber and how we can help your business grow!

Mission Statement

“Our mission is to support businesses and encourage strong leadership in the Otsego and Plainwell communities. Through networking, training and community events, we are committed to working together for the success and economic growth of our cities.”

Education - Otsego Otsego’s Vision is “Expect Excellence” and we believe that all students can excel. We are focused on creating wellrounded individuals who are college, career and community ready.

Otsego Public Schools educates more than 2300 students in three elementary schools, one middle school, one high school and an alternative high school.

Otsego is also home to a unique nature-based preschool building, the Learn ‘n Grow Early Childhood Education Center, and began its own virtual school, Otsego Virtual Academy, in the fall of 2021.

Technology is strategic and focused at Otsego. Otsego is now a 1:1 technology district implementing a device for each student that will transform our teaching and learning. With a wireless campus, our teachers find new ways to engage our students in their courses with technology. As trends change, we seek ways to incorporate new tools in our students’ learning. Otsego offers a variety of STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) opportunities in and out of the classroom.

Our focus on literacy is yearround with the addition of the Bulldogs Bookin’ Bus mobile library, on the road since the summer of 2017.

Above all, the culture and climate throughout the district is one of caring, concern and compassion. We know that building strong relationships with the individual student strengthens their educational experience and performance. All staff are trained in Capturing Kids’ Hearts, a national program that aims to help students achieve a higher level of learning through the simple concept of caring. Three of our buildings were awarded as National Showcase Schools for 2020-21.

Our community is an integral part of an Otsego education. Students participate in, and initiate community service activities at each grade level collecting food, toys, donating blood and raising money for various causes.

In Otsego, we are committed to your child’s education and success!

Expect Excellence.

Research is a driving force behind our teaching methods and educational strategies that, we feel, sets our students apart.

Innovative language and literacy programs along with increased physical activity programs are direct implementations of that research.

Otsego is consistently among the top area schools in student achievement ranking above the state average. Otsego has received five Excellence in Education awards from the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB.) Along with the core subjects, elementary students take art, music, technology, Spanish, health and physical education each week. Those continue into middle school along with engineering, choir and band.

Extra-curricular activities embrace a variety of student interests across all grade levels from art and robotics to writing and physical activity.

Education - Plainwell Plainwell Community Schools strives to be the place where every parent wants their child to be and every student loves being. Our district provides an innovative educational system with strong values; whose students are skilled in communication, problem solving, and creative and critical thinking. Our graduates are involved citizens, prepared for success in a complex and ever-changing world.

At PCS, we provide all students with a core curriculum developed from the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations and the Michigan High School Content Expectations. This curriculum defines what students should know and be able to do in the disciplines of mathematics, science, social studies and English Language Arts. Also, a solid curriculum is provided for all students in other critical areas such as music, the arts, physical education, health, technology, world languages, character education and career and employability skills.

In addition to its Middle School STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) curriculum, Plainwell Community Schools launched Project Lead the Way (PLTW) at the High School in 2016.

An extension of the STEM Curriculum, the high school students who elect to take PLTW courses choose either a biomedical science or engineering track. Both elective programs offer a different approach to learning. Through activity, project, and problem-based curriculum, they give students a chance to apply what they know, identify problems, find unique solutions and lead their own learning.

In the ever-changing world of education, PCS strives to meet the needs of our students and families! New in 2020, Plainwell Community Schools launched virtual learning for their K-12 students.

The program offers a full virtual option, as well as a hybrid/partial virtual option (home learning with limited in-person), where students can receive a Plainwell education with the support and resources from PCS educators, all while learning from home at their own pace with synchronous and asynchronous learning.

Elementary is also located off the main campus, in Cooper Township which is located on the southern tip of the district in Kalamazoo County.

In addition to its six school buildings, the district also provides an Early Childhood Education Center and maintains Hicks Gymnasium for community use. Community Education offices, Renaissance High School and PCS Adult Education are located at the newly renovated Plainwell Community Center off M-89 just outside of downtown.

Thanks to the generous members of the Plainwell community, a recent 49 million dollar bond was passed so that Plainwell Schools can continue to keep our facilities up to date and provide a great learning atmosphere. Projects include renovations of our Community Center, an addition and renovations to our Middle School, renovations of all Elementary playgrounds, a new pool and competition gym facility, and the addition of air conditioning in all facilities throughout the district. We are excited for the opportunities these changes will provide for Plainwell students, families, staff and community members.

PCS strives to provide the absolute best educational experience possible for all students. The mission of Plainwell Community Schools is to engage, inspire, and empower every student every day. The “Work Hard and Be Nice to People” philosophy is displayed throughout the district as a reminder and for inspiration to our students, staff and families to maintain a positive learning environment for all that attend Plainwell Community Schools.

Plainwell High School has been nationally ranked since 2013 and most recently was named to the Washington Post’s list of America’s Most Challenging High Schools. Additionally, Cooper Elementary has been named a Michigan Reward School placing it in the Top 5% of all Michigan elementary schools.

Our athletic department takes great pride in producing well-rounded athletes, many of whom strive to go on to play in college and at the professional level. Two notable standouts are Jack Conklin (’12) who is the Offensive Tackle for the Cleveland Browns and Mallory Comerford (’15) who is a Gold Medal World Championship Swimmer – Trojan pride!

The district also boasts a 750-seat Performing Arts Center that showcases the district’s band and choral programs along with many shows from the three elementary schools and community groups.

Our main campus at Plainwell Community Schools is home to our Class B High School, Middle School, Starr Elementary, Performing Arts Center, Pool Complex, Athletic Stadium and our Administrative Offices.

Located off the main campus are two of our elementary school buildings. Gilkey Elementary stands on 90 acres bordering the Kalamazoo River. A large portion of this acreage has been developed as an outdoor environmental laboratory for student learning. Cooper

Plainwell was established on the Plank Road (today’s Main Street) that was built between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids in 1852. The City was plotted in 1863 and incorporated as a village in 1869. The first railroad arrived in 1868 and Plainwell

Otsego’s fascinating history can be examined closer by visiting the Otsego Area Historical Museum at 218 North Farmer Street in the former 1907 Water Works Building. The museum provides permanent and rotating historical exhibits, downtown walking tours, and a Historic Happenings program on the second Thursday of each month. Call 269 692-3775 for more information.

Otsego is a welcoming small-town community nestled along the Kalamazoo River, with a healthy commercial and industrial base complemented with excellent schools, beautiful parks and friendly residents.

Founded in 1831 by Samuel Foster, Otsego’s namesake was the New York county of the same name famous for its natural beauty and its status as the residence of writer James Fennimore Cooper.

Foster arrived with his family from Vermont and built a simple log house on the south bank of the Kalamazoo River near what is now the downtown block on West Allegan Street.

PLAINWELL, MI

The Plainwell facility began operations in 1918 under the Murray Packing company. In the 1960's, it was acquired by Murco and in 1998 by Packerland. In 2000, Packerland was acquired by Smithfield.

In 2010, the facility joined the JBS USA family. Plainwell is the only JBS plant with Modified Atmospheric Packaging (MAP), a packaging process that changes oxygen levels to extend shelf-life. The MAP process is a part of the Plainwell ground beef operation. Plainwell is also one of the few plants that produces ground beef patties.

Over one million lbs (450,000 kg) of beef are produced each day.

Libraries - Plainwell/Otsego

Ransom District Public Library Plainwell 180 South Sherwood Ave., Plainwell

Otsego District Public Library Otsego 401 Dix Street, Otsego

Ransom District Library (RDL) can be found—as has been true for forty-five years—at 180 S. Sherwood Avenue in Plainwell, by the beautiful Kalamazoo River. This year, though, marks a tremendous change for the Library, as we have moved into a brand new, 20,000 square foot facility on the same historic site. RDL continues to offer superb library services seven days a week, now in a contemporary building that includes sound-proofed meeting rooms, a dedicated teen space, an expanded and enhanced Children’s Library with interactive displays, a glassed-in reading room on the river, a Digital Lab, and much more. Visitors to Ransom District Library will find the updated library that our community deserves, one dedicated to offering the finest library materials alongside opportunities to create, observe, and do. A Library of Experiences.

Visitors will continue to discover excellent collections of books in print and audio, DVDs, magazines, and newspapers in the new Ransom District Library. They will also find the same friendly and dynamic staff dedicated to helping everyone in the community with whatever their needs may be.

Public computers continue to be available for public use, along with added laptops and tablets so that everyone can enjoy WiFi throughout the building. Visitors still also have the opportunity to schedule appointments for technology help, including how to access wonderful digital collections of ebooks, audiobooks, movies, and music with just a library card.

When stopping by, visitors should look for the always fresh supply of new and best-selling books, movies, and TV shows waiting on the “new arrivals” shelves. And when the extensive collection is missing a particular item, it can be requested through inter-library loan, selected from libraries throughout the state of Michigan! Staff will be happy to help place the order, or show how it can be done from home.

For information, literature, music, programs, internet access, computers, community, and more, there is always something new and exciting at Ransom District Library!

The Otsego District Public Library (ODPL) is a beautiful fullservice public library located at 401 Dix Street.

In addition to the library’s collections, resident patrons have access to digital collections on Libby and Hoopla.

Patrons can also access materials from other libraries across the state of Michigan using Melcat interlibrary loan service.

The library’s 18,400 square foot facility, (est. 2009) boasts many unique spaces for patrons to enjoy. ODPL offers technology services that include public computers, Wifi, faxing, scanning to email, printing, copying and much more. The Michigan History Room provides patrons with unique resources of local and Michigan history. The Twice Told Tales Friends Used Bookstore offers visitors great used books for a dollar and less.
