Our Mission Statement

To create a community environment that will foster economic growth and well-being by developing a strong base of local business and enhancing the quality of life for all Perryville area residents.

The Perryville Area Chamber of Commerce is a membership organization of business and professional leaders who work together to promote the industrial, commercial and overall economic growth of the Perryville area.  Our members desire to make the Perryville area a better place to live and work.

The Perryville Chamber works very closely with the Perry County Industrial Development Authority, Perryville Development Corporation, the City of Perryville, and the Perry County Commission to ensure progressive community development.

The Perryville Area Chamber of Commerce is proudly celebrating 85 years of service to the community.  Founded on January 23, 1923, the Chamber has continued to be an active and influential force within the Perryville community.

Over the years the Perryville Chamber has sponsored hundreds of retail sales events, dozens of inner-city beautification projects and striven to attract new industry and business to promote stable economic growth for the Perryville area.  The continuing expansion of business and industry in Perryville and Perry County reflects a stable and healthy business climate.

Membership in the Perryville Chamber has increased from 173 members in 1991 to over 400 members in 2007.

The Perryville Chamber of Commerce maintains active membership in the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, the River Heritage Association, the Mississippi River Valley Scenic Drive Association, Perry County Historical Society, and Chamber of Commerce Executives of Missouri.  The Perryville Chamber of Commerce is also a proud co-sponsor of the Teen Council.
