The Shenango Valley is alive, well and growing stronger.
That was the theme voiced Thursday by Robert McCracken, executive director of
the Shenango Valley Chamber of Commerce.
McCracken addressed a “record crowd” of 200 at the seventh

McCracken pointed to the seven honored as examples of the

“It really is a great sampling,” he said of the six
businesses and one nonprofit that received awards. “The one common trait among
everyone being honored here is they’re all entrepreneurs.”
The Phoenix awards were created in 2009 as a way to
recognize companies growing in Mercer County.

with over 1200 employees and we keep growing bigger and stronger year after
