Honoring The Men Who Built the Chamber

(Bridgeville, PA) The South West Regional Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Bridgeville Historical Society is bringing you a special exhibit to honor the work of chamber members and volunteers who, just over twenty years-ago helped to reconstruct a West Penn Power Station and transform it into the chamber building that is still in use today.

The building, which has been incorporated into the chamber’s logo for the past twenty years, was updated through a rebrand in 2022 as a commemorative design to symbolize the dedication of local community members who put an enormous effort into constructing the chamber’s humble home.

Higher Images of Carnegie (formally a Bridgeville business) and the chamber’s current executive director, Mandi Pryor, took the previous design of the chamber and using a drone and architectural renderings to re-create the building to fit a more modern identity in a 3d design while adding in other small business designs to represent that they don’t stand alone, but are an integral part of our community.

The chamber building has gone through some aesthetic design changes in the past year as well as technological updates, which will help to better serve the current community and their businesses. From freshly painted walls to a new smart technology center in the community conference room, the chamber continues to adapt to serve our members better.

The chamber wants to thoroughly thank all of those who dedicated their time, money and materials to create a home for our business community.   Project leaders included Dr. Lou Phillips, Frank Romano, Bert Cherry, Frank Exler, Peter Dreon, Scott Adams, Frank Chebatoris, Jim Sullivan and a handful of other community members.

In addition to local businesses donating their goods and services, a generous donation by Anderson Equipment also helped to fund the chamber’s construction during its transition in the 90’s. In continuing these efforts, the chamber hopes to replace their awning and continue updating our conference center through the help of our Car Raffle Fundraiser in 2023.

Please join the South West Regional Chamber of Commerce at the Bridgeville Historical Society for a special presentation honoring those who helped in the 1990’s chamber building project.

Memorabilia will be on display at the Bridgeville Historical Society from April 3rd, 2023 through May 11th, 2023
