CHAMBER INFORMATION
The Hope-Hempstead County Chamber of
Commerce fulfills three main functions which affect every business
in the county. The Chamber offers services which benefit the entire
business and industrial community. Join with us and help us serve
Hope and Hempstead County even better.
Promoting Local Business
The Chamber of
Commerce
maintains a policy of advocating our local businesses first. At
every opportunity, the Chamber promotes our local retail community
and explains the benefits of tax revenues, jobs created and the
overall economic benefits for the entire community which are the
result of local citizens shopping Hope and Hempstead County first.
It is important to remember that a dollar spent locally turns over
several times in the community but a dollar spent in Texarkana is
gone forever.
Hope Watermelon Festival
The annual Hope
Watermelon Festival is held the second week in August. It is good
for the town as it brings tens of thousands of visitors to Hempstead
County. Many of our hospitality businesses experience their best
time of the year during the festival. In turn, these people have
money to spend on other local goods and services following the
festival. The festival also gives Hope and Hempstead County untold
thousands of dollars worth of free publicity. All of these benefits
come from a festival where those attending can still walk through
the gates for free.
Information Clearinghouse
The Hope-Hempstead
County Chamber of Commerce answers a large volume of written and
telephone inquiries about businesses, industry, tourism and general
community information. At times when we don't have an answer, we
will refer the inquiry to the proper place. It is our intent to
refer inquiries about types of businesses to every company providing
those goods or services, however, we tend to know more and have more
information on file about businesses which belong to the Chamber of
Commerce.
If you have any questions please
don't hesitate to contact the Hope-Hempstead County Chamber of
Commerce.
