What can the Rushford Area
Chamber of Commerce do for my business?
The Rushford Area Chamber of Commerce is
dedicated to establishing and maintaining itself as the
primary advocate, voice, and resource for business
organizations in our area.
These are some things
we are currently involved in:
- Rushford Bucks can be purchased
and spent only in the Rushford business
communities. This is a great gift or reward tool that
anyone can use to keep money circulating in the
Rushford area.
- The Chamber sponsors an annual
$300 scholarship that is awarded to a qualifed
graduating R-P High School senior.
- Tourism is promoted through
the Chamber and Historic
Bluff Country, administrator of the National Scenic
Byways Program in SE Minnesota.
- The Chamber Website serves our
members and the area community, with email access to
the Chamber staff. Members are listed
alphabetically and categorically with their business
website link, a very important marketing tool
available to our members and included in the
affordable annual dues.
- Monthly newsletters keep you
informed of community festivities and events,
new businesses and expansions, recognition
opportunities, special business promotions,
and informative and educational
resources.
- We offer grant administratration
and funding assistance for business and
community improvement projects, including the Blandin
Broadband Initiative that provides funding for local
business website development.
- To promote your business for
tourism, we provide trailhead advertising discounts and
other promotional opportunities through tourism
publications and the media.
These are some of the ways our
Chamber works to enhance business and recreational
opportunities in Rushford, Rushford Village, Peterson and
