Business Buzz

Bond Initiative Ahead for Sikeston R-6 Schools The Sikeston Regional Chamber publically announces its support for the Sikeston R-6 School Bond initiative. As a critical move forward for the future of our community, the SRC Board of Directors unanimously voted in favor of the proposal and the direct positive result it will have for the business community. As more and more companies, industries, and site selectors look to

our region for relocation and economic development, one of the very

first questions asked revolves around the success of our school

system. It is often the deciding factor in the expansion of a business

project for the welfare and growth of the companies' workforce and

employee satisfaction and morale.

This initiative will not only assist with the recruitment of external

prospects in the future, it will also have a definitive local impact on jobs

and economic development.
