The Hawley-Lake Wallenpaupack Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce it’s partnership with the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau to have made the longawaited Visitors Center a reality.

This project began with an idea of Eric Ehrhardt’s to create a beautiful Visitors Center that would compliment and showcase the spectacular scenery and destinations in our area.  Over the next few years, we faced many starts and stops, as we slowly waded through government entities and requirements.  We have finally reached the moment when we began to build.

As with any project of this magnitude, changes occurred.  Originally the building was to be owned by the Chamber; however, it became evident that financially this was beyond the Chamber’s capability and we are very pleased and grateful that the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau was willing and able to step in to bring the project to fruition. This center will be a home for both the PMVB and the Chamber and we look forward to a productive partnership.

Now the hard work begins and we would like to ask you for your support as we move this project to completion. Whether or not you are presently a Chamber member, the benefits we provide are an integral part of our bi-county community. We hope you will be generous in supporting this endeavor either financially or with in-kind resources or both.

We would like to thank the PMVB, the Palmyra-Pike Township Supervisors, the Wallenpaupack Area School District, and PPL for their efforts. Without their cooperation, this new building could not happen.

Building Bricks Donations Available!!

Fundraising Co-Chairs of the Hawley-Lake Wallenpaupack Chamber of Commerce remind the community that “bricks” are available to purchase in support of the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center building fund. Bill Murray, Wayne Bank, is shown displaying his brick “in hopes to encourage others to purchase their own bricks with a donation of $500.” Bricks will be part of the landscaping at the new Visitors Center, located on Route 6 at Lake Wallenpaupack, and occupied by the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau and the Hawley-Lake Wallenpaupack Chamber of Commerce.

Pictured at the new site with Bill Murray are Chamber Interim Executive Director Dave Wilson, Co-Chairs of the Fundraising Committee Kathy Hummel and Jim Shook, and Chamber Director Tom Regenski.

For additional project information or to donate to the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center, call the Hawley-Lake Wallenpaupack Chamber of Commerce at 226-3191 or visit www.hawleywallenpaupackcc.com.
