The Junction City-Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce does not represent a single city, but
encompass several communities, separated not only by city limits but by
political location as well. Junction City is located in Lane County while
Harrisburg is in Linn County. The Chamber also represents the City of
Monroe, which is in Benton County. Several members are also from Cheshire,
as well as nearby Eugene and Springfield. Both Different And Unique Both Junction City and Harrisburg share a common history going back to the mid 1800's; and both have strong roots in agriculture. However, they each have different attractions for families and businesses. For example, Highway 99 goes through the center of Junction City making it a main thoroughfare. At the north end of town the highway divides into Hwy 99 W. towards Monroe and Corvallis and Hwy 99 E towards Harrisburg. This makes Junction City the larger of the two; but the availability of housing and development potential in Harrisburg (which is the older of the two) makes it the faster growing of the two towns. The Small Town Advantage One of the special attributes of our Chamber is that, although we represent different and distinct cities, both areas together are small enough that our members can truly get to know each other instead of being lost in a large group. This means that communication and unification happens much more rapidly within the Chamber's decision-making process, allowing it to be potentially more responsive to the members. Both Junction City and Harrisburg are poised to grow and change substantially within the next decade. How it grows and what direction the business climate takes will influence our area - all its businesses - for years to come. That's what an active participation in the Junction City-Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce provides you with the most power and voice to influence those changes that will affect your business. An Invitation We invite you will use this site to learn more about our Chamber and what it can do for you, and of course encourage you to participate. The more involved you become, the more your own business will grow in a positive way. |
