The Knox County Chamber of Commerce has added 27 new members so far in 2025, reflecting a strong start to the year for the local business community.

Chamber President Jamie Neal credits the momentum to a new membership development director who has been actively reaching out to area businesses.

“We have a new membership development director and she’s killing it. She’s doing a good job,” Neal said. “We’ve added 27 new members to take part in the resources we offer—whether it’s marketing support, opportunities to get your name out there, or just collaborating to help make your business successful.”

Ribbon cuttings for several of the new members are being scheduled for June, and more information is available at knoxcountychamber.com and on the Chamber’s Facebook page.

Neal also encouraged residents to take advantage of local events and businesses during the summer months. She emphasized the importance of both shopping and touring local, noting that Knox County offers a wide range of things to see and do.
