Why the Macon Area Chamber of Commerce?

Because we are the partner in business for all Macon businesses! We help promote business in Macon so that the town grows and prospers and therefore the residents of Macon do too. We also have a city transportation program along side the OATS organization. We provide in-town transportation to those residents who can not drive themselves. This program is made possible by grants from MODOT and the City of Macon !
