About the

London - Laurel County Chamber of Commerce

The London-Laurel County Chamber of Commerce is the most effective business organization committed to helping improve the economic climate and quality of life in the London and Laurel County areas.

We work jointly with the city and county governments on projects that make our community a better place for everyone to live and work. The Chamber also works closely with the London-Laurel County Tourist Commission on tourist and recreational events, and with the London-Laurel County Industrial recruitment.

Each year, the Chamber office processes hundreds of potential relocation inquiries. In addition, we also handle thousands of calls for general information about London and Laurel County.

The London Laurel County Chamber of Commerce strives to keep the latest demographics and statistical data available for anyone who may need special information. The Board is comprised of fifteen Directors elected from our membership. The Board sets the policies which govern the operation and activities of the Chamber. Volunteer committees are established to accomplish the organization’s goals and objectives.

Activities of the Chamber are supported by a full-time professional staff which manages all Chamber operations. Most of the money necessary to maintain the Chamber’s office and carry on the activities of its committees comes from membership investments. These investments, paid annually, are apportioned among its members consisting of individuals, businesses, industries, and professionals. Since the Chamber is not a government agency, it does not receive tax support, although the City and County provide assistance through economic development funds.
