ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Milton-Freewater Chamber of Commerce ensures a thriving economy by working closely with business and community leaders to promote commerce, trade, and industry. This includes recruiting new companies, developing a welcoming environment for entrepreneurs, and helping to grow existing businesses. These efforts result in job creation and a diverse local economy.
Additionally, the Chamber nurtures small businesses by providing the resources they need to get started and keep going including research, low-cost marketing, and networking opportunities and promotion of your business to existing members.
