Grant Chamber of Commerce

MISSION: The mission of the Grant Chamber of Commerce is to create unity between the businesses and the community, and to encourage the development of all segments of the community. 

The Grant Chamber of Commerce was organized and the bylaws were incorporated in 1999. Brenda Barnes, President & CEO of Peoples State Bank in Grant, led the efforts to create an organization where businesses in the Grant community could come together for support. Brenda Barnes remains on the Executive Board as Ex-Officio Member, along with the Mayor of Grant, Larry Walker, also Ex-Officio Member of the Grant Chamber.
