Economic Development & Small Business

We roll up our sleeves so everyone else can.

Economic development is not just about investing, making a return, improving wages, and growing a region’s tax base. Economic development is about changing lives, improving communities, and making an impact that lasts from generation to generation.

The DeKalb Chamber is dedicated to bringing the community and its leaders together to create jobs and strengthen the economy and quality of life so businesses and the community can achieve more.
