Retail Development
The Chamber’s Retail Development Division’s Mission is to act as the primary agency in supporting and growing existing businesses; to recruit new businesses and facilitate the development of new sites locations. We will provide the support needed to create a vibrant and healthy quality of life within our community. The Retail Development Division will work closely with LRK, LLC hired by the Joint Economic Community Development Board to create a comprehensive retail development plan for Brownsville, Stanton and Haywood County.
The Retail Development Division will develop an avenue of awareness, growth and value for our Retail Chamber Members.
IT’S REWARDING TO SHOP LOCAL!
We are determined to let everyone know how important it is to “Shop Local!” When you shop locally more money is kept within the community. Buying locally helps grow other businesses as well as grows our tax base.
In order to encourage shopping local, the Chamber manages and supports “Chamber Bucks” a great way to support our local businesses. Call the chamber for more information on this Chamber Member Value Added Program.
