THE PINE BELT NEWS: PETAL GUIDE 2020-2021 9
About the Chamber
We’re on a Mission!
There’s no doubt that Petal is a great place to
live and work. More than one national, unbiased
survey has recognized Petal for its excellence. The
Petal Area Chamber of Commerce is proud that the
city is the recipient of such acclaim and is looking
forward to continued development and success.
The Chamber continues its efforts to promote
“Petal First.” The focus of this campaign is to promote
a sense of commitment to the community and
its businesses. While spending discretionary income
in the city is vastly important, there are additional
ways to contribute to the growth and
prosperity of the city. The goal is to encourage residents
to engage their volunteer, social, educational
and recreational efforts to improving the community.
While the Chamber recognizes the need for residents
to support local efforts, it also sees the need
to actively cooperate in the stimulation of the regional
economy. Growth and prosperity does not
recognize city and county lines. It spreads across
regions and states. Therefore, the Petal Area Chamber
of Commerce recognizes its responsibility to
collaborate with organizations with similar goals. It
embraces the success of every business in south
Mississippi.
Most importantly, Chamber members are the
backbone of this organization and community. They
vigorously work to provide residents with services
and relationships which enhance the livability of
the Pine Belt. The Chamber applauds their efforts
and supports their endeavors.
