STATEHOUSE (March 11, 2025) — A resolution authored by Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R-Martinsville) and State Sen. Eric Bassler (R-Washington) honoring the Owen County Chamber of Commerce unanimously passed the Senate today.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 27 celebrates the 100th anniversary of the chamber and recognizes the important work it does within the Owen County community.
"Small businesses are the lifeblood of any community, and chambers of commerce help foster growth among local businesses in the communities they serve and beyond," Bray said. "I'd like to congratulate the Owen County Chamber of Commerce for a century of service to their community, and I look forward to working with them to promote continued growth in the area."
The Owen County Chamber of Commerce was founded on June 25, 1925 and has grown to more than 270 businesses and organizations from throughout the county and beyond.
"As someone who owns and operates my own small businesses, I've seen firsthand how important a chamber of commerce is to its community and the people it serves," Bassler said. "For 100 years, the Owen County Chamber of Commerce has championed its neighbors and promoted locally owned businesses across the county, and I am grateful for the work it has done to support growth and opportunity."
