The Chamber has moved to its temporary location as of Friday, January 18. Our new location is 128-A Jefferson Street which is a bit misleading. If you are looking for us, we are in the small building across from First Baptist Church and next to First Presbyterian Church off College Street. Come by and see us anytime! We hope to be in our permanent location on the South side of the square by May. Big dreams are coming true!
