The Chamber

Working for business since 1932, the Chamber was founded by a small group of Clinton businessmen. Formed as the Clinton Chamber, the organization changed its name to the Greater Clinton Chamber of Commerce in 1977 and adopted its present name of Anderson County Chamber of Commerce in 1984. Come let us work for you!

Longo is known for his work of urbanizing cities throughout the United States. In Tennessee, Longo’s visions have led to the redesign Chattanooga’s riverfront, downtown Franklin, and even Knoxville’s Market Square.

The series kicked off with an opening presentation by Gianni Longo with around 100 Anderson County attendees. Following that, Longo conducted group interviews and multiple open houses while the plan was taking shape, ending the week with a Closing Presentation to present the results.

Sketches of the Downtown Vision were presented to the crowd during the Closing Presentation. Overall, the four days had a participation of over 300 people involved.
