Jefferson Park Chamber of Commerce

What Is The Jefferson Park Chamber of Commerce?

The Chamber is a group of local volunteer business owners who are working together to unify and promote a strong, healthy business district.

We provide a groundskeeper to help maintain a clean shopping environment. The Chamber has served the Jefferson Park Community since 1934 and will proudly enter our 69th year of the new millennium.

Over the years the Chamber of Commerce operations, attitudes and programs have changed to meet the challenges of today. However, one premise remains intact... the integral role of involved and concerned citizens to protect and preserve our free enterprise system.
