Chamber, J.P. Morgan honored for economic impact

Posted online
The Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce and the J.P. Morgan/Chase Service Center in Springfield are this year’s recipients of the Innovative Workforce Development Award for their efforts to influence the local economy.

Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt presented the award Sept. 25 at the annual Governor’s Conference on Economic Development. The award is given to organizations that demonstrate innovative ways of developing a work force and impacting the economy and quality of life in the areas they serve.

The chamber helped bring J.P. Morgan to Springfield seven years ago; the company now employs more than 1,600 workers with an average wage of more than $14 per hour with full benefits, according to a chamber news release.
