Current Chamber Programs:

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.
