We are proud to be a part of the effort to bring quality daycare solutions to Barry County

We’re incredibly honored to share that the Barry County Chamber & Economic Development Alliance was recognized this week during a special roundtable discussion for our efforts to address Michigan’s child care crisis.

As a Chamber deeply rooted in community, we know that access to affordable, high-quality child care is critical—not just for working parents, but for employers, our local economy, and the future of Barry County. That’s why we’ve been proud to support local solutions and advocate for child care expansion alongside our partners and members.

This recognition is a testament to what’s possible when communities come together to solve big challenges. We’re thankful for the spotlight on this important issue and remain committed to building a stronger, more resilient Barry County for families and businesses alike.
