Small groups of local business people began meeting and organizing in the early 1950’s in the Towns of Walworth, Macedon and Palmyra with the purpose of forming Chambers of Commerce. All three chambers were formalized in 1957 with Walworth also becoming incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in New York State.

Over the succeeding years these chambers sponsored and/or spearheaded many local civic and business related opportunities including; encouraging professional services of doctors, dentists, lawyers, architects, builders, banks, retail chains, and engineering firms to locate and expand in out towns. Additionally these chambers supported political candidates who worked to bring redevelopment funds and projects to our area for the benefit of all our citizens.

In 2001 the Macedon and Palmyra Chambers joined together as a common organization and in 2009 were joined by Walworth Chamber to become an incorporated body named Macedon Palmyra Walworth Chambers of Commerce Inc. This new organization, MPWCC, has a common purpose. It’s an organization of business people and community members created; to provide a forum which fosters the exchange of ideas and information among its members; to promote and encourage the success of local businesses; and to carry forth the skills, talents and success of its members by encouraging an environment of economic and community growth.

Join us as we boldly expand our successes in the 21st century!
