The Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce

Striving to Stimulate Economic Growth, by Providing a Voice for the Business Community of Our Membership

WELCOME TO OUR CHAMBER

All of us in our personal lives have a tool or two at home that we use only occasionally. We have it because of a need that arose at one time or another, and we invested in the tool to satisfy the need. Even it is never used again, it adds to our peace of mind to know that it is there when we need it again.

Your Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce, to an extent, is like that tool. Some may use it regularly, while others need it on an irregular basis. Isn’t it nice to know that it’s there if and when you need it? Your membership investment makes it possible for our Chamber to exist, however often and whenever you need it.

Your Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce is working hard to keep Wadsworth a vibrant business community, which offers the unique opportunity to enjoy a small community life, with access to a growing business base. We are always here to help you understand what your Chamber offers, and how to use your membership to the fullest advantage. We hope you will be a “regular user” of the Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce, and that your membership adds to the value of your business.

UPCOMING HAPPENINGS AT OUR CHAMBER & resourses

Keep up the good fight, Wadsworth!

There are many great reasons to live, work, and play in Wadsworth. One of those great reasons is the Wadsworth Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services, providing fire-fighting services and emergency medical care for the City of Wadsworth and Wadsworth Township.

The Wadsworth Fire Department and EMS have provided life-saving and vital services to our community since 1896 – an incredible 125 years of continued professional and courageous service by dedicated men and women. Now, it is our turn to help.

The Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Staff are asking each resident to vote YES for the Wadsworth Fire Levy on May 4, 2021. As a Chamber of Commerce, we know that our area businesses rely heavily on the knowledge that the Fire Department and EMS respond quickly and efficiently to every emergency call, protecting businesses and employees.

For the enormity of the services provided when needed, an extra $52.50 per $100,000 home value seems amazingly feasible, especially considering the amount is based on 35% of a property’s market value as determined by the County Auditor. This levy is effective from 2021-2025 and will be used to annually purchase and update essential firefighting items, replace Ladder #1, a 1992 fire truck, as well as to fund the construction of a new headquarters fire station to replace the existing Fire Station #1, originally constructed in 1963.

We appreciate your support of the Wadsworth Fire Levy. The levy provides for the important life-saving services and safety of our community and the Wadsworth Fire Department and for the men and women who provide for our safety and security.
