COMMUNITY
Our membership represents a variety of businesses from large industrial facilities to small home-based entrepreneurial enterprises. The Chamber offers programs, events and resources to serve the needs of each company.Additionally, our membership continues to grow each year. Just as more and more residents relocate to York County each year, this booming population draws new businesses to the area as well. Companies move to this region because of its unique balance of business incentives, accessibility and quality of life.
Even in this changing economy one thing always remains the same: as opportunities and challenges arise, York County consistently maintains its charm and Southern hospitality. York County is a business center for industry, communications, and technology and, in the past few years has averaged over $200 million annually in industry and business development and created 1,700 new jobs annually.
