After 8 years of serving the Brown County business community from its current office space on Main Street in Georgetown, the Brown County Chamber of Commerce has announced it will continue its commitment to local businesses from a new location.
The Chamber will soon call Mt. Orab home.
“The Chamber is very important to the community and a huge benefit to the entire county,” said Village Mayor, Bruce Lunsford, “We are very excited to have the Chamber move to Mt. Orab and continue to support economic development and the business community throughout Brown County.”
Located less than a half mile North of the county’s busiest interchange, the Chamber’s new space will serve as a centralized hub to continue to deliver value to our current members, support county-wide community development efforts, and promote travel and tourism.
Formerly home to the Bardwell Winery, the Chamber’s new location will be easily accessible with ample parking and around-the-clock access to the Brown County Visitors’ Center. With nearly 17,500 vehicles traveling through Mt. Orab via U.S. Route 68 and Ohio State Route 32 daily, the move to 720 N High Street is poised to benefit the business community and those passing through and looking to explore all that Brown County has to offer.
According to Chamber leadership, this transition will only serve to strengthen its commitment to its mission: to enhance economic growth in the Brown County area by focusing on education, promotion and collaboration of the business community, recruitment and development of emerging community leaders, and those areas of the community affecting business. “The new office is a reflection of the vibrant future of the Chamber and the entire Brown County area,” said Missy Jimison, Brown County Chamber President/CEO. “We are proud of the increasingly important role the Chamber plays in improving the strength of the Brown County business community, and this move will allow us to take this work to a new level. The office will be a resource for visitors and residents alike, and a hub for Brown County’s businesses and community leaders.”
The Chamber is expected to take occupancy of the new space in February of 2022.
