PATHFORWARD MEMBERSHIP

The Community Improvement Corporation of Shelby (CIC) was formed to drive economic development and focuses on the community’s prosperity and growth. The CIC looks at all aspects of what makes for an ideal community and has taken steps to build just that – a desirable place to work, live, and play.

IT’S HAPPENING.

In early 2017, significant efforts began towards improving the economic environment in our city. The City of Shelby and the CIC adopted and put into action the Shelby Economic Development Plan. Focusing on the objectives outlined in the plan, incredible strides have been made including:

THE PERFECT BLEND.

There is positive energy buzzing around and about Shelby. Other communities have taken notice of our progress and are asking how the CIC has achieved so much success in such a short period of time. The public/private partnership has been the driving force behind the CIC’s progress. The powerful combination of the City of Shelby’s investment paired with private dollars has been indisputably successful. The CIC has raised over three million dollars for improvements that will transform our historic downtown into a place of gathering that will naturally spur additional investment.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE.

There is still so much to do, and the CIC cannot do it alone. For the CIC to continue to move the city forward, we need community leaders to join us in our endeavors. The PathForward is a group of visionary leaders banded together who share the common goal of a thriving community. They believe that an investment today will forge a path to move Shelby forward.

As a community leader, we invite you to join the PathForward.
