Why Join? – Ocean Park Area

The Chamber is a place for business owners to network and communicate with one another towards the purpose of improving the business community. We take our responsibility as non-political business/community advocates seriously, and as such, provide a link between our unincorporated area and Pacific County government. We market and promote Chamber sponsored events and community events that bring thousands of visitors to our local businesses. We also have established working relationships with our elected District 19 Legislators and other Pacific County Chambers along with key community organizations

Did you know the north peninsula generates nearly two-thirds of the property tax collected in the unincorporated portion of Pacific County? The Chamber is the voice for being treated fairly and equitably by our county government. As such, we tackle important issues such as the septage problem, razor clam management, and public safety. We also keep watch over lodging tax funds, making sure distribution to the unincorporated part of the county remains in compliance with regulations.

Our Purpose

The Chamber is a non-profit organization founded to protect and promote the free enterprise system within the trade area and for the benefit of its membership. The Chamber is an organization of citizens interested in promoting and marketing worthwhile civic and/or cultural events for the community. (Opening paragraph ~ Article II Purpose, from our Bylaws)

We firmly believe that once a visitor comes to any part of Pacific County, they will return to explore even more of our wonderful locations and businesses. To that point, we have developed strong working relationships with other Pacific County chambers, merchant associations and the Pacific County EDC. We support and work with other organizations such as the Beach Barons Car Club, the Lions, Village Club and Port of Peninsula in their endeavors to make our communities better places to live and visit. We value our excellent working relationship with PCFD#1 and are excited to expand our relationship with the Pacific County Sheriff’s Department.

Marketing Support
