What to expect

The chamber formed in the late 1940’s as business owners recognized the need to work together supporting localized business. On December 18, 1950, the chamber officially incorporated as the Orwell Chamber of Commerce and registered with the State of Ohio. On November 1, 1965, the name was changed to Grand Valley Chamber of Commerce. March 5, 2015, was the most recent name change and we became the Grand Valley Area Chamber of Commerce. Even though their name has changed several times the vision of the founding members never has. They continue to support their local business growth through a variety of business programs.
