It is the goal of Powhatan Chamber of Commerce to have each citizen think of Powhatan businesses first when they need a product or service.  Before spending your dollars outside of our community, think....

"Give Powhatan the Business".  Do you know that most of the businesses in Powhatan are owned and operated by people who live in Powhatan?  These are your friends and neighbors who truly appreciate each dollar that you spend with them.  Do you know that when you shop locally, a percentage of the sales tax is given back to Powhatan County?  Do you know that the more we patronize our community stores, the more growth in business and the more expanded the selection will become?  Do you know that by encouraging business growth, we will also create employment opportunities right here in the community where we live?
