The chamber's focus in business recruitment and expansion considers a mix of employers to provide quality job opportunities. With approximately half of the area's economy tied to federal defense and space spending, the chamber works to strengthen the scope of defense and space-related opportunities and to complement and add diversity to the regional economic base by attracting non-government dependent employers.
