Manufacturing Sector Partnership

The Manufacturing Sector Partnership in Grand Junction is spearheaded by local manufacturers, the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce, and CMU Tech, addressing critical challenges such as rising housing costs and a shortage of skilled workers. This partnership emphasizes workforce priorities like enhancing healthcare benefits for employees, involving employees in strategic planning, and forging ties with educational institutions and the Workforce Innovation Project. Growth priorities focus on reducing regulatory burdens, constructing workforce housing to attract talent, and facilitating access to capital for smaller companies.
