While separate entities, the Ames Chamber of Commerce and the Ames Economic Development Commission share staff and other resources as they work towards a common goal: providing a unified approach to strengthening and promoting business and community and to support our members and investors.
Vision 2022 is a strategic plan developed to guide both organizations forward over the coming years. Vision 2022 builds on the progress made in recent years to grow and expand the Ames and Story County business community, while committing to address identified challenges.
With support from its affiliate organizations, the Chamber and AEDC will continue to focus on leading economic development and growth, driving improvements in housing availability and affordability, influencing public policy to meet the area’s needs, and raising the profile of both organizations.
