ANDERSON COUNTY
What a great time to be in Anderson County! We’re glad you’re here! As we embark on 2022, the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce celebrates its 90th Anniversary of “Working for Business”. Founded in 1932 as the Clinton Businessman’s Association, the Chamber looks forward to continuing to fulfill our mission to encourage economic development and community partnerships for an improved quality of life for our community and citizens. This special 90th Anniversary edition of “Guide to Business” depicts in words and pictures the unique features of our area. The Chamber has always been the “information station” for our area and all that Anderson County has to offer. As you look through this Guide, we believe you will get a firsthand look at what it is like to be a part of a growing area that promotes business, supports families, and has a vision for the future. You will find important information on local government, education, business, and industry, as well as important messages from our member sponsors. We offer our sincere thanks to them for making this publication possible. Serving our community through our Community Partners and membership investments, which promote strategic initiatives that support existing business, we encourage new business growth and make a difference in all aspects of our community. Working with our Chamber members, Community Partners, volunteers and civic leaders, the Chamber has achieved tremendous growth over the past 90 years and has celebrated an abundance of successes. At the same time, we have worked to preserve our county’s rich heritage. From Norris Dam State Park to the Museum of Appalachia to the Coal Creek Miner’s Museum to the Green McAdoo Cultural Center to the Manhattan Project National Historical Park and to Windrock Park, and soon to open, Aspire Park, our county reflects many diverse communities strongly influenced by their heritage and history. Anderson County also looks forward to an optimistic future through increased economic growth, workforce development and a strong education system. Whether you are in our county as a visitor, new resident, or business owner, you will quickly come to appreciate our county’s rich history while looking forward to becoming a part of its bright future. Anderson County delivers what many areas only promise – a small town lifestyle amid forested hills with large sparkling lakes and clean rivers. Yet we are near major shopping and entertainment just down the road. We have so much to offer – and we are confident you will see that during your visit to our county – we have the best of both worlds! The Anderson County Chamber of Commerce recognizes and appreciates their valued Chamber members and Partners for their investment and volunteer spirit in the community that contributes to the lifestyle we enjoy, making Anderson County a great place to work, live, play, and visit. We welcome you as a business, as a visitor, or as a new resident. We invite you to come and see all that Anderson County has to offer. We look forward to another 90 years of “Working for Business”!
