LETTER FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Have you noticed the new businesses that have opened in Chilton County over the last two years? Just start at Exit 205 and drive north
on Highway 31, and you will see Boomerangs, APCO Employees Credit Union, The Computer Doctor, Tropical Bounzers, Elwood Staffing, This Is Bliss Therapeutic Massage, Strings & Things Music Company, Dixie Wheel & Tire and Dollar General, just to name a few. When you get to the north end of the county, look for Jemison Wedding Chapel, Hidden Meadow Vineyard and Mid-South
Fabrications as well as others.
What does this mean? It’s probably too early to make this call, but maybe our county is pulling out of the recession. Maybe these new start-up businesses, coupled with the expansion we are hearing about from local manufacturers, and the growth we are experiencing since the last census signal good news for our market.
Let’s believe that better economic days are just ahead!Mike RobertsonExecutive Director
CHAMBER MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Elwood Staffing, located in Clanton, recently held a grand opening ceremony to celebrate their newest office in Alabama. According to Business Alabama, Elwood is the largest temporary staffing agency in the state. The Clanton branch brings the company’s total office count in Alabama to nine. Elwood specializes in clerical and light-industrial
staffing, mostly in the manufacturing, logistics, and automotive industries. The company operates 60 branches throughout the nation and puts over 42,000 people to work annually.
The branch office in Clanton opened in response to growing demand from clients and a desire to close the gap
between the company’s Birmingham and Montgomery offices. Job seekers can apply online at www.elwoodjobs.comor visit the branch between 8:00AM – 5:00PM, Monday through Friday. For more information about the company, visitwww.elwoodstaffing.com.
