Retail Development


The Chamber’s Retail Development Division’s Mission is to act as the primary agency in supporting and growing existing businesses; recruiting new businesses and facilitating the development of new sites and locations. 

We will provide the support needed to create a vibrant and healthy quality of life within our community. The Retail Development Division will work closely with LRK, LLC hired by the Joint Economic Community Development Board to create a comprehensive retail development plan for Brownsville, Stanton, and Haywood County.

The Retail Development Division will develop an avenue of awareness, growth, and value for our Retail Chamber Members.

Shop Local. It's Rewarding!

We are determined to let everyone know how important it is to “Shop Local!” When you shop locally more money is kept within the community. Buying locally helps grow other businesses as well as grows our tax base.  

In order to encourage shopping locally, the Chamber manages and supports “Chamber Bucks” a great way to support our local businesses. Call the chamber for more information on this Chamber Member Value-Added Program
