BusinessTalk with Jacob Robinson, Executive Director, Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce

Jacob Robinson came from a deep background in economic and community development when he took the reins a year ago at the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce. Since then, he’s seen new shops and restaurants open, helped develop and expand community events and programs that benefit small businesses, and worked with community partners to grow the economies of the chamber’s seven towns. On the next episode of BusinessTalk, Jacob talks with BusinessWest Editor Joe Bednar about all this and more, including the challenges all area towns face, from housing to transportation to shifting economic tides, as they strive for greater vibrancy. It’s must listening, so tune into BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest.
