From the Desk of the Director

June is one of the busiest and most exciting months of the year in Paulding County. As I write this, the Paulding County Fair is underway, our Chamber Golf Outing is quickly approaching, and we are beginning to roll out new America 250 initiatives across the county.

I am especially excited to share that the Chamber was recently awarded a $9,804 America 250-Ohio grant. This funding will help us promote events, share local history, and connect our communities as we prepare to celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary.

We've also been hard at work updating the Chamber website. While there's still more to do, we've already improved navigation, and expanded information about upcoming events and Chamber programs. I encourage you to visit PauldingChamber.com and explore the updates for yourself.



Thank you to our members, volunteers, community partners, and local leaders who continue to support the Chamber's work. Your involvement allows us to invest in projects that strengthen our businesses, communities, and quality of life throughout Paulding County.

I hope to see many of you at the fair this week and on the golf course later this month.

Students, businesses, churches, and community organizations came together this spring to make a lasting impact across Paulding County. Now, you can relive the day through a special highlight video produced by Jim Orozco of 3N Live.

From community beautification projects to teamwork and service, the video captures the spirit of Community Cleanup Day and the many individuals who helped make it a success.
