I live in Mooresville and enjoy life here. However, I grew up in Troutman, have deep roots there, ran an office there, have a brother who lives there, and have many friends and relatives there. So, I’ve stayed involved with what’s going on in Troutman since I ran the Century 21 Real Estate office there. I love that community and want to see it prosper. That’s one reason why I’ve stayed involved with the Troutman Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
That group (otherwise known as the Troutman Area Council) is affiliated with the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce, getting excellent guidance and support from the Statesville Chamber. The Troutman Chamber is growing in membership, and the board is doing good work to plan how we can help local government enhance the quality of life and the success of the local business community. We recently had a planning session hosted by Engineered Sintered Components, a great local employer and participant in the life of the community. John Koppelmeyer, head of Barium Springs Home for Children, facilitated a brainstorming session for driving ahead the ideas of what Troutman should look like in the future. Of course, no small group can do everything at once, but there were some great ideas put forth in that session. The board continues to meet to prioritize what comes first, what comes next and how to make those goals happen.
If you or someone you know would like to participate in this discussion through membership in the Troutman Chamber, go to our website HERE to learn more about what we’ve been doing and how to become involved.
