Your Chamber works
full-time in promoting Warren County. Working
closely with the Development Authority of Warren
County and the Warrenton Downtown Development Authority,
we are seeking new industry and providing support
to existing industry to grow and prosper.
Your Chamber also coordinates with Hometown Warrenton,
Inc., a 501-(c)3 non-profit organization, to further
promote and provide funding for community development
projects.
The following four
entities are all housed within your Chamber of Commerce
office:
- the Warren County Chamber of Commerce
- the Development Authority of Warren County
- the Warrenton Downtown Development Authority
- the Hometown Warrenton, Inc.
This ensures all
groups are working closely with one another and
not duplicating services.
The Warren County
Chamber of Commerce is constantly seeking new ways
in which to serve its members and community better.
