INFORMATION ABOUT THE PCOC

Located in the Richardson-Harris-Boatwright Insurance Building, 3829 Old Buckingham Rd., the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce is the largest business support organization in the area. Now in its 20th year, the Chamber lists over 240 members and is self-sustaining, providing its services with no governmental support.

The meetings which are noon luncheons are held the third Thursday of each month at County Seat Restaurant located at 3883 Old Buckingham Road in the Village of Powhatan. There is a guest speaker at each luncheon as well as at the annual dinner in January. Full-time representation and year-round results are rewards of belonging to the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber unceasingly promotes local products and services while at the same time protecting business interests. A single voice can go unheard, but the collective voice of the Chamber is effective in helping to make Powhatan a wonderful place to work and live. Our activity includes a "Give Powhatan the Business" campaign designed to keep sales tax dollars at home. The Chamber is creating an awareness that when residents spend their money for goods and services within the County, not only do local merchants benefit, the County benefits from the sales tax revenues generated. One can find almost everything one needs right here in the County.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

The Powhatan Chamber of Commerce is an association of business, professional, and civic minded members who promote the free enterprise system, economic growth and the prosperity of Powhatan County.

GIVE POWHATAN THE BUSINESS

Our goals include a campaign designed to keep sales tax dollars at home. Shopping locally benefits the municipality in which you live. If you are new to the community or a seasoned Powhatan resident, keep in mind that you can find almost everything you need right here in your County.

A primary attraction for new business growth in the County is the absence of a gross receipts-based business, professional, and occupational license tax. The Chamber is proud to stand up publicly against this unfair tax.
