Savannah is not only a top tourist destination but also an ideal city for business or family. Our diverse economy forms a strong business and employment base ranging from manufacturing to distribution, from tourism to military, from healthcare to port operations and retail sectors.
Savannah is home to Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart military bases. Combined, the two bases employ more than 42,000 people and generate an annual direct federal expenditure of $1.4 billion dollars. We support our military through various councils.
As Savannah flourishes with an assorted economy, our need for a trained workforce rises. We at the Chamber are dedicated to providing Savannah with a workforce that is educated and trained. Our workforce development staff works diligently with the Savannah-Chatham School Board Council to make sure citizens have opportunities to develop necessary skills.
The Chamber also provides assistance with governmental affairs by lobbying on the local, state and federal levels. The business community needs the unified voice the Chamber provides. The Savannah-Chatham county area has a place at the table, and if we don't speak up other regions will split our piece of the pie.
Currently, 2,000+ diverse member businesses are involved in the Chamber. Our member services staff is dedicated to bringing together the businesses of Savannah to enhance Savannah's economy. Member services provide a variety of ways to get and stay involved in the community.
