Will we ever see Development @ the Prairie Gateway site in Commerce City, CO??? It has been years since the Commerce City Civic Center and Rapids stadium have been built and still no economic development. I guess patience is really a virtue.

Community Invited to Explore Italy With Metro North Chamber

The Metro North Chamber of Commerce (MNCC) is taking business and the community to new levels this year, specifically to an international level through a recently launched business/leisure international discovery program . Chamber partners and interested international travelers are invited to travel with the Chamber to Tuscany this fall to participate in a unique experience that is slated to mix a little bit of business with a little bit of pleasure. Departing on November 8, 2011, the eight day journey to Tuscany, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, will include airfare, transfers, first class hotel accomodations, superb cuisine daily, a designated guide, tours, winery visits and the opportunity for business professionals, who are interested, to connect with professionals and businesses in their respective industries.

Specific site visits include the spa resort town of Montecatini, Florence, home to famous artists such as Leonard da Vinci, Dante and Michelangelo, the Piazza del Duomo, Pisa, home of the Leaning Tower and the picturesque cove of Portofino, which provides an unforgettable Mediterranean experience. Travel is offered at an unprecedented rate of $2,299 for MNCC Members when booked by July 22, 2011 and for just $150 more for general travelers.

“This is truly an amazing opportunity to participate in an international journey to irresistible Tuscany, where program participants can experience the country’s culture, learn about its business climate, and enjoy luxury travel accommodations at a significantly reduced rate,” said Deborah Obermeyer, President and CEO of the Metro North Chamber of Commerce. “The Metro North Chamber will be traveling in partnership with several other Chambers representing other regions throughout the United States . Not only will this trip provide a memorable travel experience, it will also offer travelers the opportunity to meet new people from here in the US and abroad.”

Obermeyer added, “Our theme at your Chamber this year is ‘Oh, the places your community will go with your Metro North Chamber.’ We meant that literally!”

Interested travelers are invited to attend a free special ‘Italian themed’ information session on Tuesday, July 19th from 6:00 – 7:00 PM at the MNCC Business & Community Connection Center located at The Orchard Town Center on 144th & I-25 (between Verizon Wireless and Eddie Bauer).
