Welcome to the Grant Area Chamber of Commerce: 

Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) This program connects start-ups and other small businesses with experienced executives who counsel them free of charge on everything from developing their business plan to raising capital. There are literally no strings attached for this free service, and nobody tries to sell you anything. Unfortunately in this day and age, all too often we have to worry about those kinds of things. Not here! Please feel free to stop by or contact the Chamber office if you are interested in learning more about this free program. For more information, please contact Lori Supinski at (231) 652-9298 x13.

The Grant Area Chamber of Commerce is involved in a number of community events throughout the year.

Educational Opportunities & Seminars:

  • May 14, 2010:  Toni Rubleski presented "Mind Capture" at the Loomis Lodge in Newaygo.
  • February 18, 2010: Retail Marketing Seminar where businesses can learn about improving the customers' first impression, dressing up their storefronts, and the little things that bring customers back time and again.

Making A Difference In The Community:

  • Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 11, 2010.  Santa will be arriving once again on the Marquette Rail Santa Express.  A schedule of events will be added to the Festivals & Events page, so check back in October for more information. 
  • When you drive next thru downtown Grant, look up↑!  You cannot help but notice the 43 new 3'x5' American Flags on the new streetlight poles.  Customized banners will be added this fall beneath the flags on some of the streetlights, and the downtown will look even better.
  • Sunday, June 21, 2009 from 10am - 8pm We greeted the P.A.L.M. bicycle group of between 700 and 800 riders as they arrived between 11:00am and 2:00pm. They camped overnight on Grant Middle School grounds. The color guard had an ice cream fundraiser at the request of PALM riders.
  • Fall 2009: The Chamber partnered with sponsors to purchase new Christmas decorations for installation on the new light poles. The sponsorship banner is annually displayed directly on the Historic Wooden Water Tower for the next ten years during the holiday season.
  • Winter 2009: Santa and his Elves visited with children on Saturday, December 12, 2009. He arrive by train at 11:30am and proceeded to Community Center on a horse-drawn carriage to meet children and take photos. There were be plenty of activities, cocoa, cider, and donuts FREE of charge.  This annual even was a big hit, with well over 200 children present to meeti Santa.
