2011 Award Nominations

Hardin County Chamber & Business Alliance - No Limits!

In August of 2005, a group of community leaders representing four existing groups, realized it would be to each of their advantages if they combined to speak as one unified voice in promoting and marketing Hardin County in the ever changing global economy.

They recognized the new organization needed -

MUSCLE - Hardin County Chamber
VISION - Hardin County Economic Development Council
FLAVOR - Hardin County Tourist & Convention Bureau
SPIRIT - Downtown Development County Wide

On September 1, 2006, these four existing groups joined efforts to form a single, dynamic, proactive organization - the Hardin County Chamber & Business Alliance.

Today, the HCCBA Staff and Board of Directors constantly work on strategic planning to retain existing business while developing new opportunities. We invite you to review each of the divisions of the Alliance and see the difference we are making in "cultivating a positive climate for Hardin County prosperity". If you have any further questions or would like to speak with us directly, contact us at 419-673-4131 or email alliance@hardinohio.org.
