The Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce is an economic development organization working on business retention and expansion efforts with the Village, Community Resources, Greene County and the region.
The Chamber is also responsible to promote Yellow Springs to businesses and individuals that might have an interest in relocating or visiting. We produce the Visitor’s Guide and other promotional materials that are widely distributed and send hundreds of visitor and relocation packets annually as well as answer thousands of inquiries either in person or via telephone.
Membership in the Yellow Springs Chamber has benefits beyond supporting the Village, region and member businesses and organizations. The following benefits provide real financial savings that can more than pay for the cost of your membership.
