Area News for HispanicsWeathering the Storm: Why Local Real Estate May be the Best Way to Invest Money in Today’s Changing Financial Climate

Although the economic storm of recent months has many investors holding tight to their stocks praying the DJIA recovers, some are taking this financial tornado and riding it out in the housing market. While real estate investments have taken a dive in other parts of the country, Pittsburgh continues to be an attractive place to purchase real estate. The Pittsburgh Business Times even reported a global interest in the Pittsburgh region with the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance hosting a group of international investors touring Pittsburgh looking for investment opportunities. “That kind of investment is very good for our region because it creates business activity and jobs here," says Allegheny Conference CEO Mike Langley.

Chamber Affiliate NewsNew CHC Chair Will Bring Hispanic Business Issues to Forefront in 111th Congress.

Washington, DC – The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) applauds Congresswoman Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) on her election to lead the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) during the 111th Congress. Congresswoman Velázquez is a proven leader who will continue to bring Hispanic small business issues to the forefront. On behalf of the Hispanic business community and in recognition of her many efforts, the USHCC awarded Velázquez the annual Chairman’s Award earlier in 2008.

“The USHCC is honored to have the opportunity to expand its already significant collaborations with Congresswoman Velázquez, a leader who is dedicated to increasing opportunities for the Hispanic community,” said David C. Lizárraga, USHCC Chairman of the Board. “As the leading advocate for the nearly 3 million Hispanic-owned businesses in our nation, our organization will be committed to working with Chairwoman Velázquez during the upcoming Congress to address the foreclosure crisis, education and healthcare reform, small business programs and the many other issues critical to the Hispanic community.”
