Welcome and thank you for considering membership in the Vienna Chamber of Commerce!

​

The Vienna Chamber of Commerce functions to showcase our community and benefit our members. All activities sponsored by the Vienna Chamber are designed to enhance our community and ultimately, to assist our members and businesses.

 

Special events are held to promote Vienna and draw visitors to the community. The past couple of years have been very challenging as we navigated through a pandemic and local businesses were unsure of the outcome. For this reason, we explored new ways to promote our community and surrounding areas in a positive manner.  We assisted the Maries County Fair Board when they needed help keeping the annual fair in operation. We added a new springtime annual event called the Vienna Sausage and Wine Festival.   We promoted our community businesses through the website, social media, and newspaper. The Chamber also provided a way for businesses that employ 2 – 50 people (Click here for more details) to obtain health insurance for their employees. We held numerous ribbon cuttings for new businesses to help them jump-start their industry.  We are almost finished with our welcome center so visitors may grab a business brochure or city map depicting markers of VCOC business members and points of interest. We hope to have the welcome center completed very soon, located in the United Country Results Realty and Auction building at Hwy 63 S and 4th Street.  We also worked with the VHS VoAg department to beautify our city with sponsored planters around the courthouse.

​

One of our current goals is to promote the heart of our community in the courthouse square. We have continued to host some of our traditional events such as Trunk or Treat (now held around the square) and re-implementing Christmas Around the Square.  The Vienna Chamber has joined Main Street Connection in order to revitalize our downtown and surrounding areas. We received a tourism grant to which we created a video commercial and produced brochures to showcase places to eat, shop, play, and stay. We are working on additional grants, including grants to fill some of the vacant buildings around the square with viable businesses. 

As the Chamber expands its efforts to market Vienna and the surrounding area, our membership continues to increase. There is no better time to become a part of the Chamber and participate in the growth of our community. The chamber added some classifications to our membership to include students, individuals, and retired members at a cheaper rate. Check out our enrollment form for details. 

Without the efforts of our individual community members and our businesses working together, we would not have the successful events that continue to put Vienna on the map! Whether you are an individual or a business, we invite you to join us in 2023 as we work together to promote our community and the surrounding area!
