Bellefonte Area Chamber of Commerce

General information

The Bellefonte Area Chamber of Commerce was established in 1938 to promote the economic benefit of its members and the development of business in the Bellefonte area. Its mission was later expanded and its service area enlarged to the Intervalley Area. The Chamber now serves Bellefonte, Howard and Milesburg Boroughs and the Centre County Townships of Benner, Boggs, Burnside, Howard, Huston, Marion, Snow Shoe, Spring, Union, Worth and Walker.

Our membership is comprised of sole proprietors, small and large businesses, corporations, non-profit and community organizations and individuals located throughout Centre County that support and partner with the Chamber.

The Chamber's services include the provision of general economic and community development assistance, cooperative marketing opportunities, business and organizational promotions, customer referrals, member training and information services, weekly e-mail updates and periodic newsletters, monthly member networking activities and health insurance programs. A new benefit is the Member to Member Discount Program. In addition, the Chamber provides research and advocacy for its members and works closely with local government and community groups in helping to plan, promote and provide special events and activities that bring in business, promote tourism and expand local cultural and recreational opportunities.

Please stop by, call or write to us. We are quartered in the historic Bellefonte Train Station next to beautiful Talleyrand Park. Our location is also the local visitor's center and the home of the Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society. For information or an application to join the Chamber, contact Executive Director Gary V.
