All winners are asked to pick up their prizes at the Chamber offices located on the third floor of the CAN DO Building, 1 S. Church Street, Downtown Hazleton. The committee, chaired by William Spear Jr. of Hazle Drug, is comprised of volunteer representatives from a variety of business concerns located in the Center City Area. They have been meeting on a regular basis for several months to plan programs to attract positive attention, and shoppers, to downtown. According to Spear, “Downtown Hazleton is one of the largest business centers in the area with over 400 firms. Area residents who may not have visited downtown in some time will be surprised to know the variety of goods and services available in a very small geographic area.” According to Spear, “The Chamber Downtown Committee is attempting to draw together various business persons to coordinate promotions and perhaps other activities which may help to attract new faces to downtown and help to revitalize the business climate here.” Spear said that in addition to the Easter promotion, the committee is attempting to sign up volunteers from the downtown business community to participate in the Great PA Cleanup campaign on Saturday, April 21st. Business and property owners are being asked to commit to clean up the front and rear of their properties that morning to demonstrate their involvement and commitment. Downtown business and property owners, and anyone in the general public who would like to participate in the clean-up can contact Leann Scatton at the Chamber office at 455-1509 or via email lscatton@hazletonchamber.org.
