Athens Welcomes you

With a history rich in agriculture, industry and innovation, Athens has become a symbol for celebrating the past, while advancing into the future.

Nowhere is this more evident than on the Athens downtown square, where revitlization is in progress. Recently, the July Business of the Month, Prosperity Bank, announced plans to construct a new building on the square. To fluidly fit with the feel of downtown, Prosperity's architect looked to the community and the historical downtown buildings that Athens is proud of. Prosperity Bank's support of the Athens Chamber of Commerce and other community organizations are what led to their being named the July Business of the Month.

The Athens Chamber of Commerce is the catalyst organization to advance Athens’ businesses into the future and toward prosperity. The Chamber achieves this by creating programs, services and activities which are of value to Chamber members and the community. We provide a positive community image for businesses while promoting a business friendly environment in the Athens area.
