Message from the Chairman
Thank you for your interest in Clarksville-Montgomery County, Tennessee. I’ve
had the opportunity of living and working in Clarksville most of my life and
there’s no place I’d rather be. I invite you to explore all the opportunities
Clarksville can offer for you, your family, or your business, and I think you
may feel just the same.
Residents and visitors alike celebrate Clarksville’s rich history and heritage
throughout the year. Our pride in the past is evident in our architecture,
landmarks, natural resources, and events. Yet, our citizenry and community
spirit makes us one of the most vibrant and progressive…and fastest
growing…mid-size cities in the southeast.
Clarksville’s diverse and growing population, largely due to the influence of
two of our greatest resources – Fort Campbell Army Post and Austin Peay State
University – keeps the city thriving. A strong entrepreneurial foundation,
festive events, cultural restaurants, specialty retail, quality education, and a
top-value cost of living are all areas in which Clarksville ranks high and
exceeds national standards.
Throughout its 100-year history, the Chamber of Commerce has played an active,
integral and vital role in community and business development activities. We’ve
recruited top industry, facilitated job and income growth, contributed to
highway and infrastructure development, promoted local business and education,
embraced Fort Campbell troops and their families as our own, and encouraged a
clean and safe community – ever representing the best interests of our member
businesses and local citizens.
Today, the Chamber is as active as ever in these areas and more. A breathtaking
RiverWalk development is entering a new phase with incredibly exciting potential
for new business and recreation opportunities. A renewed downtown is continuing
to flourish with attractive retail and entertainment options. Targeted Chamber
programs positively affect member businesses like never before. This is an
exciting time for Clarksville and an exciting time for you to consider joining
us. Please don’t hesitate to contact the Chamber if we can assist you in any
way.
Sincerely,
Gary Norris, Chairman
Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce |
