The Chamber of Commerce will try to bring in more than 3,700 jobs and millions of dollars in payroll to the city through an initiative called Ignite Springdale.

The Chamber announced the program Tuesday at a meeting in downtown Springdale. The program will stretch over four years with an investment by the chamber of $2.6 million, said Lisa Ray, chairwoman of the Chamber Board of Directors.

The program will have four goals — growing technology businesses, retention and expansion of existing businesses, workforce training specific to business needs and restoring the pride in being a Springdale resident.

The Chamber has raised about $1.4 million of the money needed for the program, said Perry Web, Chamber president and chief executive officer.

"We are using no tax money and no foundation money," Webb said. "This is all businesses stepping up and building a better place."
