The Union Springs / Bullock County Chamber of Commerce is an organization of business owners and civic minded citizens who work together to bring about a strong financial future and a positive quality of life for our community and children.
Our Objectives:
1) Increase communication between local officials, businesses, the citizens and education to promote economic growth in our community.
2) Foster and encourage the business environment by “business after-hours” meetings of members, sponsors and guests - quarterly.
3) Attract new retail businesses and new residents for our community and embrace those arriving with talents to contribute their fresh ideas and expertise to the community process.
4) Create a sense of Community by bringing community leaders, clubs and organizations together for planning and implementation of county- and city-wide programs.
5) Establish community leadership programs that provide structure and guidance to our future lleaders of Bullock County.
6) Develop, plan and enhance programs that improve our business image such as main street and holiday events.
7) Encourage a “Union Springs and Bullock County” concept, which will unite all toward one focused image and eliminate fractionalized attempts which defeat moving forward as a united city/county.
