The Northland Chamber plays an important role in attracting and supporting new businesses in our region. The success of any region can be traced back to the success of business in the region, making business growth vital to the success of the Northland. All kinds of businesses are necessary for success and receive the attention and support of the Chamber. Three words sum up a description of the Northland Chamber’s role in business and economic development: Collaboration, Advocacy and Partnerships.

While business is at the heart of what the Northland Chamber does, we are focused on improving the Northland for all, not just for businesses. A critical, yet sometimes overlooked component of healthy, thriving communities is infrastructure. Whether “small” like repaving our major roadways and repairing potholes, to bigger projects like a brand new terminal at KCI and a new Buck O’Neil bridge that provides access to the Northland, the Chamber is actively advocates for funds and projects that will make our region a better place for all.

The Northland Chamber believes that in order to have a healthy, thriving region, our community members need access to a wide range of businesses, facilities and activities. These types of developments include new or improved parks and trail systems, supporting the local school districts and facility developments and improvements, such as the new youth soccer complex. The Northland Chamber actively supports our Northland communities and these projects, as the region moves upward for a better tomorrow.

Members of the Northland Chamber staff and Legislative Committee regularly meet with our local, state and federal elected officials with a focus on improving the Northland. From seeking funds for a wide range of projects to taking a stance on upcoming bills and policies, the Northland Chamber continuously engages with our elected officials for the betterment of our region. The Northland Chamber gives members the opportunity to be involved in the issues that impact the communities they live and work in through our committees and regional advocacy efforts.
