Advocacy

One business voice carries further than four hundred

The Chamber publishes an annual Legislative Agenda and works it at the county, state and federal level — utilities, permitting, transportation, workforce funding and the everyday conditions that decide whether a business can grow here.

When a project needs partners, the Chamber convenes them: city halls, the Industrial Development Board, utility boards, schools and regional agencies at the same table.
