Chamber of commerce in the works for Richland Parish

Richland Parish will soon have a chamber of commerce.

A collaborative effort between the Northeast Louisiana Economic Association, the northeast Louisiana legislative delegation and mayors from Mangham, Delhi and Rayville over the past several months determined a need for a chamber of commerce that supports the needs of Richland Parish communities. 

A founding board has been established with representatives from Delhi, Mangham, Rayville and Start.  The Richland Chamber of Commerce will focus on supporting local agricultural, local business and future business needs in the parish. The chamber will collaborate with local city governments, councils and NELEA to help drive economic prosperity for Richland Parish communities.  

The Richland Parish Chamber of Commerce will hold events in the near future to highlight the resources and support the chamber can provide to members.  The chamber will be seeking citizens interested in building a strong local economic development base with support for existing business and community development to strengthen the marketing efforts of Richland Parish, NELEA and the state.
