The Fort Collins Area Chamber will launch it’s third annual Moving Fort Collins Forward! campaign, on September 4. The Moving Fort Collins Forward! 2013 campaign will provide the Fort Collins area with a properly funded chamber of commerce capable of accomplishing key initiatives in the community. The Chamber is dedicated to improving community infrastructure, keeping schools strong, sound public policy, and economic growth, all of which lead to a more successful and vibrate community.
