Congratulations to Safe Harbor Support Center on being selected as the Regional Chamber's February Member of the Month.
Safe Harbor Has served the community since 1998. They consistently provide support for over 2,000 families in the Tri-Cities. Safe Harbor operates programs such as My Friends Place, Sails Outlet, Incredible Years, Parents for Parents, and more. All programs are dedicated to helping children and families heal from trauma and recover from abuse and neglect. Throughout the years the organization has adapted to fill the needs of our community. To learn more, visit, volunteer, or donate, visit the Safe Harbor Support Center Facebook page or their website at safeharborsupportcenter.org. On March 11th, the Washington Building Code Council will meet to consider several proposals to the state commercial energy code (WSEC-C). These proposals will ban natural gas for use in space heating and water heating new and retrofit commercial buildings. For background and information on the proposals, go here.
While these policies are currently restricted to the commercial energy code, we expect similar policies to be proposed for the residential code later this year. This is just the first move in a wider effort to limit customer choice in the energy sector. Because the additional regulations and increased costs will have an adverse impact on the economic vitality and development of our region, the Chamber is opposed to the proposed code changes. The public will have the opportunity to provide comment on March 11th at 10am. If you would like to make a comment, sign up using the form on this webpage. The Tri-City Regional Chamber would like to thank Central Plateau Cleanup Company (CPC Co) for joining the Chamber at the Visionary Level, the Chamber's highest level of membership.

Congratulations to Communities in Schools Benton-Franklin on being selected as the Regional Chamber's January Member of the Month.
Communities in Schools serves five school districts in our region and works directly inside 34 schools. Their mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. They help students with basic needs, academic assistance, life skills, and more. They accomplish these needs with school-based site coordinators. These coordinators empower students to stay in school through individualized access to needed resources, and ongoing encouragement.
