The Greater Odenville Chamber of Commerce held its monthly meeting on March 10, 2025, at Calvary Baptist Church, welcoming over 30 attendees for an engaging and informative session. Guests enjoyed a delicious roast beef lunch catered by Katering 101 while networking and gaining valuable insights into county developments.

A special thank you to St. Clair County Commissioner Stan Batemon for speaking to our group about the county’s workforce needs and strategies to attract and sustain industries. His insights underscored the importance of workforce development to ensure economic growth and business success in our region. He also emphasized the need to teach young people a strong work ethic, ensuring they can effectively hold down a job in addition to acquiring the necessary job skills for companies to manufacture and provide their goods and services.

We also appreciate Ashley Hay with the St. Clair County Commission for sharing updates on the St. Clair Agriculture & Multi-Event Center in Odenville. Ashley provided details on rental availability, membership opportunities, sponsorships, and upcoming events at the center, highlighting its impact on the community and local businesses.

The Greater Odenville Chamber of Commerce extends its gratitude to all attendees and speakers for making this meeting a success. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next gathering!
