About the Olive Branch Chamber

The City of Olive Branch, a suburb of Memphis, TN, is the fastest growing community in Mississippi with a population growth of well over 20% in 1998. Its industrial development began in 1973 with the opening of a 3,000 acre industrial park by Holiday Inns, Inc. More than 26 employers were attracted to the community in the first 6 1/2 years.

The Chamber's major thrust is: To help the community respond to the opportunities and challenges of Mississippi's fastest growing city. Key elements of its objectives are assuring adequate transportation corridors; a new postal facility; the development of strong relationships between new residents and the retail community through a proprietary Coupon Book mailed in monthly welcome packets to each new household; and helping local employers with their expansion plans while assisting prospective new employers.
