The respective boards of the two neighboring Chamber of Commerce are joining forces into a single, cohesive business support organization. The new East Pasco Chamber of Commerce will continue to strengthen and enhance the businesses throughout East Pasco and will bring new cooperative marketing opportunities, workforce development strategies and a stronger combined effort for advocacy.
 
During the coming weeks, the committees will address the various areas involved in creating a new organization to preserve the traditions of these two historic business associations. The timing to act now is integral to supporting area businesses and to help build prosperity with useful and effective tools.
 
The merger aims to enhance the organization’s presence in the area including workforce development, membership services, small business networking, mentoring, growth opportunities and a broader impact in this fast-growing economic environment.
