ABOUT THE CHAMBER

Chamber Mission

“The mission of the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce is to develop members and promote Florence.”

Economic Development and Our Partnership with the City of Florence & RAIN

With our mission to be an innovative leader in economic vitality and active lifestyle we partner with the City of Florence, Lane County and the State of Oregon to offer services and the promotion of economic development to our members as well as members of the public making inquiries about conducting business in the Florence Area. The City of Florence has intensified its effort for economic development with the creation of an Economic Development Committee consisting of a dynamic and experienced team to assist and promote businesses in the Florence area. In addition to the Pacific View Business Park, in 2015, the City completed a review of available buildings within the City, with particular focus on the Hwy 101 corridor and in Historic Old Town. For additional information on City of Florence Economic Development, contact City Recorder Kelli Weese, 541-997-3437 or click HERE.
