About the Jamestown Chamber

The Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of business and professional people dedicated to promoting the civic and economic vitality of Jamestown.

Most importantly, however, the chamber is people like you! A chamber’s strength lies in the number and diversity of its members. Because it embodies the vast expertise of many businesses and professionals in its membership, it has the knowledge and resources to identify issues of importance to the business community and the combined means to devise and implement strategies to address them. The chamber accomplishes collectively what no one business or professional can do alone.
