THE LOCAL CHAMBERS’ EXCHANGE
LBCCC Actively Pursuing Partnerships
October is my favorite time of the year! I love this time of the year with the sunny days, cooler nights and the brilliance of color that will occur over the next several weeks. I also love this season because of all the wonderful activities from now through the end of the year, including all the

COMPANIES ON THE MOVE
Three Companies Embrace KOEZ Benefits at Bristol Commerce Center:
Preferred tax status attracts Turtle & Hughes, Drexel Metals and Goodyear to strategic Bucks County location
Herring Properties announced in September that three companies have signed leases and moved into 2101 Green Lane, the new 70,000 square foot building at Bristol Commerce Center (BCC). Goodyear Tire Company, Turtle & Hughes and Drexel Metals have joined Airgas Safety, which completed construction on a 250,000 SF facility at BCC last year, in taking advantage of the site’s Keystone Opportunity Expansion Zone (KOEZ) designation.
STRATEGIC EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
Being the Right Company
Every business owner knows that being successful means satisfying current customers and creating a pipeline of new customers. The key ingredient to this process reinforces the old dating strategy of “finding the right person means being the right person first.” Being the right kind of business for your customers requires a continual self-assessment and a willingness to address the old habits that don’t work anymore. Generally, this assessment stops at the two major roadblocks of gaining too few new customers to replace the lost old ones and not enough working capital to finance any changes.
